Ingredients
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
1. Preheat air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil.
2. Pour melted butter into the lined basket.
3. Whisk sugar, egg white, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add pecans and toss until fully coated.
4. Spread pecans in the lined basket. Air fry for 5 minutes.
5. Shake basket and air fry for another 5 minutes.
6. Shake basket again and air fry 2 to 4 minutes more until caramelized.
Notes
Let the pecans cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes to allow the sugar coating to harden and become crunchy.
Store in an airtight glass jar at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Do not crowd the basket; ensure the nuts are in a single layer for even air circulation.
