Candied pecans infused with orange and vanilla for a delicious twist on a classic snack.
Ingredients:
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 teaspoons orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
  • 1.5 teaspoons coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua®)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tangerine, finely zested
  • 1 pound shelled pecan halves
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and generously butter a large metal baking sheet.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites and water until stiff peaks form. Mix in orange extract and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Gently fold the sugar mixture into the egg whites until just combined. Mix in rosemary and tangerine zest until evenly distributed. Toss pecans in the sugar-egg white mixture until coated. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, rotating the sheet and tossing the pecans every 8-10 minutes, until they are crispy and golden brown, for 30-40 minutes. Let cool on a piece of parchment paper.
