Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; add vanilla and gradually add sugar. Toss in the pecans and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are coated thoroughly.
Pour melted butter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the pecans out evenly over the butter and cook for 40 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes with a spatula – do not skip this step! (They will look like a gloppy mess at first, but don’t worry! Keep turning as instructed and all will be good.)
Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes, but not much longer.
Place powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large resealable plastic bag; add in the warm pecans, seal and shake until coated.
Best served warm, but absolutely delicious even after a few weeks!
