INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Add the pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground, being careful not to overprocess into nut butter.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and seasoning, then pulse again to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the egg white until fully blended, forming a dough.
- Divide the dough in half and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a lightly greased sheet of wax paper and roll out into a thin rectangle, about ⅛-inch thick.
- Score the dough with a knife or pizza cutter to create pretzel stick shapes, cutting all the way through or nearly through for easy separation after baking.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark. If the edges start to brown too quickly, break them off and continue baking the rest.
- Once golden brown, remove from the oven and let cool completely. Finish breaking them apart and serve.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
