Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and optional pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Toss the pecans in a bowl with the maple syrup and salt and optional pepper.
- Place pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Place on the middle rack for 7 minutes, and STIR. Continue roasting 3-7 minutes, until golden and caramelized. TIP: You want the nuts to toast a bit, and the maple syrup to carmelize (so that it hardens when cooled) so watch like a hawk to prevent burning- yet aim for the full 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven and toss. Let cool completely. Break apart. Store in jar, or bowl on the counter for easy snacking.
Notes
Only REAL maple syrup works here. Do not use imitation, or you will end up with a mess.
Feel free to add spices! 1-2 teaspoons of any of the following work great:
- Five-spice
- Zaatar
- garam masala
- curry powder
- Chipotle and cumin ( 1/2 teaspoon each)
- smoked paprika
- chili powder
- cinnamon
