Description
This easy roasted pecan recipe offers a wholesome, crunchy snack or versatile topping, perfect for busy families. It highlights quick preparation and customizable flavors, ensuring a healthy and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves, (approx. 200-240g or 7–8 oz) for best flavor and texture, organic recommended
- 1 tbsp olive oil, (or melted coconut oil, grapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil for heart health)
- 0.5 tsp sea salt, (or kosher salt, low-sodium salt blend if managing sodium)
- 1 tsp maple syrup, (optional, for sweet variation)
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon, (optional, for sweet variation)
- pinch cayenne, (optional, for spicy variation)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Sheet: Preheat your oven to 175 C (350 F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of raw pecan halves with 1 tbsp of oil and 0.5 tsp of sea salt. If using, add optional spices like maple syrup, cinnamon, or cayenne. Toss thoroughly until the pecans are evenly coated and glistening.
- Spread & Roast Pecans: Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch for a golden-brown color and nutty aroma.
- Cool Completely: Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature on the baking sheet for at least 15-20 minutes. They will crisp up beautifully as they cool.
Notes
If pecans feel soft after cooling, they might need a few more minutes in the oven; if they look too dark, they might be over-roasted. Always use fresh, plump pecans and quality oil for the best flavor and texture.
