Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until well combined and smooth.
Add the raw pecan halves to the saucepan, stirring gently to coat the pecans evenly with the butter and spice mixture.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the finely chopped crystallized ginger evenly over the warm pecans. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Transfer the pecans to an airtight container to store or serve immediately. Enjoy!
