🥇 Smoky BBQ Pecans

Ingredients
  • 2 cups raw pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup beaten egg whites (from ~2 large eggs)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar (or 1 Tbsp maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or pinch of hing)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp 1/4 liquid smoke or 1/2 tsp smoked salt for deeper BBQ note (Optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C). Line a sheet pan with parchment or silicone mat.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff.
  3. 3
    Add olive oil, sugar, and all seasonings to the whites; whisk again to blend.
  4. 4
    Toss pecans into the mixture until thoroughly coated and glossy.
  5. 5
    Spread evenly on the sheet pan — one layer, not touching if possible.
  6. 6
    Bake 35–40 minutes, stirring once at the 20-minute mark. They should look dry and slightly tacky when hot, crisping as they cool.
  7. 7
    Cool completely on the pan before storing airtight.
