Pumpkin Spiced Pecans
The perfect blend of crunchy, sweet, and warm fall spices, these pecans are impossible to resist! They’re a must-have for charcuterie boards, make charming holiday gifts in festive jars or tins, and are an irresistible snack all on their own.
Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make and will fill your home with the warm, delicious aroma of everything we love about pumpkin season!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (you can use 1/4 if you want less heat!)
- about 4 cups of Better Halves Natural Pecan Halves
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray (to make clean up easy!).
- In a bowl, add in your sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- Place your pecan pieces in a separate mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate little bowl, whisk together your egg white and water and then pour this over your pecan pieces and toss until they’re all coated. Now, add your sugar/pumpkin pie spice mixture on top and toss the pecans until every pieces is coated.
- Spread this out on your baking sheet and pop in the oven. You’ll bake these for about an hour stopping to toss them about every 15 minutes or so (just so they get evenly crispy and delicious).
- After about an hour, remove your baking sheet and allow your pecans to cool. I like to pour my pecans down on to wax paper to cool on my counter. After about 20 minutes or so, you can lightly break them up and store them in a gallon-sized baggie or airtight container in your kitchen when not enjoying.
