📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously coat a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and gradually beat in the sugar until a gooey meringue forms. Toss in the pecans and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are coated thoroughly.

3
Pour melted butter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet so it coats the surface.
4
Spread the pecans out to an even layer over the butter.
5
Transfer to the oven and bake for ⏱️ 40 minutes, stirring them every ⏱️ 10 minutes with a spatula – do not skip this step! (They will look like a gloppy mess at first, but don’t worry! Keep stirring and rearranging back to an even layer and all will be good.)
6
Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes, but not much longer.
7
Place powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large resealable plastic bag; add in the warm pecans, seal and shake until coated.
