I love fun air fryer snacks, and these sugared pecans are some of my favorites along with these spiced pecans and candied walnuts. What can I say, I love nuts!

Needless to say, these are some of my favorite snacks and I can make them from start to finish in just minutes! And guess what? You only need to have pecans along with a few staple ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Ingredients needed to make sugared pecans in the air fryer.

How to Make Sugared Pecans in the Air Fryer

  1. Mix egg white and water in a small bowl and use a whisk for 1 minute until the mixture is frothy.
  2. Mix the salt, sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add the pecans to the egg mixture and toss until fully coated. Pour in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and toss the pecans to ensure they are fully coated.
  4. Spread out the coated pecans in the prepared air fryer basket.
  5. Cook on 350 for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket often.

NOTE: All air fryers cook differently and at different wattages. I used the Cosori 5.8qt for this recipe. Always check how your new recipes when making them. You may need to add a little time or even take away a little time.

FAQs

How do I store Air Fryer Sugared Pecans?

Sugared Pecans can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to a week. You can also store sugared pecans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and in the freezer for up to two months.

How should I prepare my Air Fryer basket for sugared pecans?

Because this recipe can be a little "sticky", it's important to prepare your Air Fryer basket accordingly. You can use a good coat of olive oil spray on the basket liner, use parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray, or foil sprayed with nonstick spray if your air fryer allows foil.

To make things "less sticky" make sure you are tossing the pecans often to ensure they are thoroughly cooking and not sticking to the basket.

    Where does the salt come in? No mention of adding the 3/4 tsp salt into the method of the recipe .

      You add the salt to the sugar and cinnamon mixture. I have that corrected! Thanks for pointing that out. 🙂
