Candied Pecans

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk the Egg White: In a large bowl, whisk the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until frothy.
Coat the Pecans: Add the pecans to the egg white mixture and stir until they are well coated. Then, sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until evenly coated.
Bake the Pecans: Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the pecans are golden and the coating is crispy.
Cool and Store: Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
