Description
Make sweet and crunchy maple glazed pecans at home. This recipe is simple to follow and results in a delicious snack or topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine the pecan halves, maple syrup, melted butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted. Watch them to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the glaze will harden and become crisp.
- Once cooled, break up any clumps and store the maple glazed pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Ensure pecans are spread in a single layer for even baking.
- Stirring halfway through baking helps prevent sticking and promotes even toasting.
- Allow pecans to cool completely for the glaze to set and become crisp.
