Ingredients

2 cups pecan halves

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, sea salt, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the maple mixture.

Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced to encourage even roasting.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn; they should be golden and fragrant.

Once roasted, remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crunchy.

Once completely cool, break apart any clusters and store the crunchy maple roasted pecans in an airtight container.
