Ingredients
Candied Pecans
Instructions
Candied Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Toss the pecans in a bowl with the maple syrup, salt, and optional pepper.
- Place pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 14 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning while allowing the maple syrup to caramelize.
- Remove from oven and toss. Let cool completely, then break apart. Store in a jar or bowl on the counter for easy snacking.
Notes
- You want the nuts to toast a bit and the maple syrup to caramelize so that it hardens when cooled.
- Watch carefully during the last few minutes to prevent burning—aim for the full 14 minutes for best results.
