Maple Glazed Pecans in a Measuring Cup

I love this maple glazed pecans recipe. You can make a batch in a few minutes on the stovetop and use them in a variety of ways. They are always a crowd pleaser. Fall is the perfect time to start making them, and you can continue doing so all through the holiday season. I find myself snacking on them when I’m looking for something sweet. I also love adding them to my morning oatmeal or chia pudding as a flavor and protein boost.

Ingredients

Shelled Pecans – Use pecan halves and not chopped pecans.

Maple Syrup – Make sure your using pure maple syrup for the best quality.

Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium size skillet toast the pecans for about a minute. Stir occasionally watch closely so they don’t burn.
  2. Add the maple syrup and pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the maple syrup is caramelized. 
  3. Remove them to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread them out to cool. 
  4. Store in a container or glass jar.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Shelled Pecans
  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • Pinch Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the pecans and stirring constantly toast for one minute.
  • Add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
  • Continue to stir constantly until the pecans are toasted and the maple syrup has caramelized. Be careful as they can burn very easily.
  • Remove to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly to cool.

Notes

The caramelized nuts will have a rough texture. If they cool and are sticky add them back to a hot pan and cook a bit more until the pecans have a rough texture (you can see it in the pictures).
You can substitute walnuts for the pecans.
Store in a glass jar or container up to a week. They are still edible after that but are a bit soft.
