My Air Fryer Candied Pecans recipe is a classic that'll have your kitchen smelling like the holidays with roasted pecans and warm cinnamon! These candied nuts are irresistible and you can easily customize them with other ingredients or nuts!
In a bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add the pecans to the egg white mixture, stirring to coat them evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the pecans, ensuring that they are well coated.
Place the coated pecans in the air fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.
Once the pecans are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool. The coating will harden as it cools.
Once completely cooled, transfer the candied pecans to a serving bowl or an airtight container.
Notes
Shake the air fryer basket every 5 minutes and check to make sure they are not burning. Every air fryer cooks a little differently.Be sure to place the nuts in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
