Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow the pecans to roast slowly and avoid burning.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine your sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together your egg white and water until it becomes frothy. This is what will help the sugar mixture stick to the pecans.
Add your pecans to the egg white mixture and stir until all the pecans are coated. Then, add your sugar mixture and stir until all the pecans are evenly coated.
Spread your coated pecans onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they're not overlapping, so they roast evenly.
Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Be sure to stir the pecans every 15 minutes to ensure they're roasting evenly and not burning.
