Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the pecans and gently stir until all the pecans are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring them halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the honey roasted pecans to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately. Enjoy as a snack, salad topping, or dessert garnish!
