Ingredients

  • 4 cups pecan halves
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg white at room-temperature

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add pecans to a large bowl. Add maple syrup, coconut oil, orange zest, and kosher salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold until pecans are evenly coated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Add to the bowl with the pecans and fold until evenly combined.
  • Transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
