Ingredients
- 3 Cups Pecan Halves
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter or Plant-Based Butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Bourbon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Method
- Heat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Stir the pecan halves in a medium bowl with the maple syrup, melted butter, sea salt, bourbon and cinnamon until every pecan is coated.
- Spread the pecans on the baking sheet in a single, even layer.
- Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, tossing them at the 10-minute mark so they cook evenly.
- Take the sheet out of the oven and let the pecans cool; the sticky maple coating hardens as they sit. Stir them once more to coat, cool completely, and serve.
