Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and just warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the pecans to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the coated pecans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring the pecans halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with the granulated sugar while they are still warm. Toss gently to coat.
Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool, creating a crunchy texture.
Transfer the cooled pecans to an airtight container for storage, or enjoy them immediately as a snack.
