Ingredients

1 pound pecan halves
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line a sheet pan with sides with parchment paper or a Silpat liner.
Whisk egg white and water together until frothy.
Pour over pecans and stir to coat nuts.
Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over the nuts. Make sure to coat the nuts with the sugar and spice mixture thoroughly.
Add half the nuts to the prepared baking sheet, spread out the nuts into a single layer, and cook the nuts in two batches.
Put in oven and toss every 8 minutes till they have cooked for 40 minutes.
Towards the end of time check on the nuts more often because these nuts can go from done to burnt in no time. Also, it's important that when you toss the nuts make sure to get all the nuts tossed. Nuts on the edge of the pan can sometimes burn if not tossed thoroughly.
When finished let cool for a few minutes, pour in bowl, line sheet pan again, and cook remaining half of nuts.
