Air Fryer Candied Pecans
You're going to love my Air Fryer Candied Pecans - a classic southern dessert made easily in your air fryer!
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 c. pecan halves
- 1 egg white
- 1 tbsp. Maple syrup
- ¼ c. brown sugar
- ¼ c. white sugar
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pecans, egg white, maple syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon, tossing until well-mixed.
- Prepare your air fryer basket by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring no corners or edges protrude over the top, to prevent burning. Cut off any corners or edges that stick over the top of the air fryer basket.
- Transfer the coated pecans onto the parchment-lined basket and shake gently to create an even layer.
- Air fry at 340F for 5 minutes. Remove the air fryer basket, stir the nuts thoroughly, and then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once done, spread out the pecans evenly on a baking sheet or cutting board lined with parchment paper. Let them dry out for roughly an hour.
- Once dried, store the pecans in a sealed container. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure each pecan is evenly coated with the egg white and sugar mixture for consistent sweetness in every bite.
- Keep an eye on the pecans during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent over-browning. Adjust cooking time if needed.
- Allow the candied pecans to cool completely on the parchment-lined baking sheet before transferring them to a storage container. This helps them crisp up and maintain their texture.
