Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the erythritol sweetener, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, and allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the praline mixture over the pecans. Stir the pecans well to ensure they are fully coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container. Enjoy your low carb praline pecans as a snack or dessert topping!
