Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated erythritol, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Add the pecan halves to the saucepan and stir until they are well coated with the syrup mixture.
Spread the coated pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are fragrant and lightly browned.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage.
