Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw pecan halves
- 1 cup Erythritol (granular)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, combine the erythritol, butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sea salt, and water.
Stir the mixture continuously until the erythritol and butter have melted and combined smoothly, creating a syrup-like consistency.
Add the pecan halves to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly with the mixture.
Continue to stir and cook the pecans for about 7-10 minutes, ensuring they are well-coated and the syrup begins to thicken slightly.
Transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
