Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it for 20-30 seconds or until fully melted.
Add the pecans to the bowl of melted butter and stir well to evenly coat the nuts.
Sprinkle the salt over the pecans and mix again to distribute the salt evenly.
Spread the pecans in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Keep a close eye on the pecans during the last few minutes to prevent burning, as they can brown quickly.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the roasted pecans to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately as a snack or topping.
