• 2 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

3. In a separate bowl combine Sugar, Salt and Cinnamon.
4. Add Pecans to egg white mixture, mix well until coated.
5. Slowly pour Sugar mixture into pecans while mixing.
6. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet (or use parchment or silpats) and spread the pecans into a single layer.
