ROSEMARY-SESAME PECANS

ROSEMARY-SESAME PECANS

INGREDIENTS

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon minced rosemary

¼ cup sesame seeds

2 large egg whites

1 pound (about 4 cups) pecan halves

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats.  Whisk together the sugar, salt, rosemary, and sesame seeds in a small mixing bowl.  In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy, then add the pecans, and toss to coat evenly.  Add the herb mixture to the pecans, and toss to coat evenly.  Spread the pecans out on the baking sheets, and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the nuts are toasted, and the coating is dry.
