Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Heavily butter a large metal baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Beat egg whites and water together in the bowl of a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Add orange extract and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Mix sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl; fold sugar mixture into egg white mixture until just incorporated. Fold in rosemary and tangerine zest until evenly mixed. Add pecans to the sugar-egg white mixture; toss to coat. Spread coated pecans in one layer onto the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, turning the baking sheet and stirring the pecans with a metal spoon every 8 to 10 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper to cool completely. (35 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, toast the pecans lightly before coating them.
The liqueurs can be omitted for an alcohol-free version; just add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
