🍯 Honey Roasted Pecans
⭐ Ingredients
-
2 cups pecan halves
-
3 tbsp honey
-
1 tbsp butter
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional but delicious)
-
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
-
Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat to 325°F (165°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Honey Coating
-
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
-
Stir in the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Mix until smooth.
3. Coat the Pecans
-
Place pecans in a bowl.
-
Pour the honey mixture over the top.
-
Toss well until all pecans are evenly coated.
4. Bake
-
Spread pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Remove when pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted.
(Be careful: nuts can burn quickly!)
5. Cool
-
Let nuts cool completely — they will become crunchy and glossy as they cool.
-
Break apart any clusters.
🌟 Tips
-
Add a pinch of cayenne for spicy-sweet pecans.
-
Swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version.
-
Double the batch for holiday gifts or party snacks.
-
Store pecans in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks (or freeze for 3 months).
