Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 tbsp salted butter, or coconut oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Spread out the pecans on a baking sheet and bake the pecans for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
- Melt the butter (or coconut oil) in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes, or until the pecans are shiny. Then add the maple syrup and cook, stirring frequently, until the syrup is absorbed into the nuts, another 2-3 minutes.
- Lightly coat the baking sheet with a little oil. Turn out the pecans onto the baking sheet, breaking up any clumps. Allow the nuts to cool to room temperature. Use immediately or transfer to a sealed container and store for 2-3 weeks.
Notes
- Pecans for snacking: If you want these pecans as a snack rather than a salad topping, skip the chopping step and leave them whole.
- Butter: You can use unsalted butter instead of the salted butter. Just a add a pinch or two of kosher salt in when you are melting the butter.
- Variation: For a thicker coating, add one more tablespoon of maple syrup (for 3 tbsp total). The nuts will be a little sticky and have a more intense maple flavor.
