Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the erythritol, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sweetener starts to dissolve and combines with the butter to create a glaze, about 1 minute.
Add the pecan halves to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the sweet spiced glaze.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the glaze thickens and clings to the pecans.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
Transfer the spiced pecans onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet, spreading them out to prevent sticking as they cool.
Let the pecans cool for 2-3 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.
