Maple Candied Pecans, the Oven Method
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 2 cups
- 2 cups pecan halves (8 oz)
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup, plus a drizzle more (tsp?)
- ¼ tsp flaked salt
- 2 Tbsp. demerara sugar
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Mix the pecan halves with the maple syrup in a bowl.
- Place the pecan halves on a parchment-paper covered baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring the nuts around on the baking sheet halfway through.
- Remove promptly at 15 minutes to avoid burning.
- 'Pour' the hot nuts immediately off the parchment paper into a bowl.
- Drizzle the nuts with a little more maple syrup, stir, add the sugar and salt and mix together.
- I specified demerara sugar and flaked salt for the big crunchy crystals: if you don't have those, regular brown sugar and salt will suffice.
- Spread the nuts out to cool on a baking sheet covered with a fresh sheet of parchment paper.
