Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pecans halves, (about 2 cups)
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Stir together the pecans and egg whites.

  2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.

  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Add half the pecans.

  4. Air fry at 300 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, opening the basket to shake it at 5 minutes.

    Peak again at 7 minutes and every minute after that. They will burn very quickly if you leave them in too long.

  5. Repeat with remaining pecans.

Recipe Notes

The pecans will be soft when you first remove them from the air fryer, but they will get very crispy as they cool.

If you have a 5.3-quart air fryer or larger, you can probably cook them all in 1 batch.
