Time 16m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

¾ cup pecan halves
1 teaspoon butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, or more to taste
2 pinches salt

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat; add pecans and lower heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until pecans are lightly crisp and turn a darker brown, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from stove and slightly cool pecans.
  • Mix butter into warm pecans and toss to coat. Turn heat to medium; add maple syrup and stir pecans with a heat-proof or wooden spoon until syrup begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat down to low and continue stirring pecans until syrup begins to caramelize onto the pecans, about 5 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat, sprinkle salt over pecans, and stir.

I love the flavor of these pecans, but they're a bit too crunchy for my liking. I would recommend toasting them for a shorter amount of time.

I found these pecans to be a bit too dry. I would recommend adding a little bit of oil or butter to the pan before toasting them.

These pecans are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup next time.
