Sugared pecan halves AKA Nut Crack

cribbed from a thousand different sources, all over the internets.

1 egg white
about 3 c pecan halves
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
pinch kosher salt

beat egg white until a little frothy (not whipped)
stir pecans into egg white until well coated
combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a big zip-top bag.
add pecans.
seal the bag and shake.
cover the bottom of a cookie sheet with foil and lightly coat with non-stick spray (trust me)
spread pecans out - the more spread out the better.
bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, stirring them in between.

This is a great appetizer or on top of salads or snack in the middle of the night.

EDITED: My friend Jenny calls this Nut Crack - and she's right. it is THAT addicting.
