3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 6 cups pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Line a baking sheet with foil and mist with cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk egg whites with 2 Tbsp. water until very frothy and thick, about 2 minutes. Whisk in brown sugar until completely mixed in, then stir in pecan halves until coated.
  3. 3
    Stir together chili powder, cumin and salt. Sprinkle over nuts; toss until well coated. Spread nuts in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with zest and toss to mix. Let cool, tossing occasionally to break up clusters.
