Total Time: 1 hr 25 mins
Yield: 6 cups
Ingredients:
1 large egg white
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
6 cups (about 21 oz.) pecan halves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250°F. Whisk egg white in a large bowl until foamy. Whisk in packed light brown sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Stir pecan halves into the brown sugar mixture until thoroughly coated. Place pecans in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until pecans have browned and coating has set and started to harden, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
