Notes
- For added flavor, include vanilla extract or other spices, such as nutmeg, allspice, or ginger.
- For the best results, use raw pecans in this recipe. If you opt for roasted pecans, simply shorten the baking time by five minutes.
- To achieve a more caramelized coating, you can use unsalted butter or coconut oil in place of the egg white, if preferred.
- You can also use Swerve brown sugar substitute instead of erythritol to achieve a look and consistency similar to traditional candied pecans.
