Quick Maple Glazed Pecans

These quick maple glazed pecans are great for snacking, gifting, roadtrips, and perfect for charcuterie boards.

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. These Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts are another favorite nut combo I love.

Ingredients

Shelled Pecans – Use pecan halves and not chopped pecans.

Maple Syrup – Make sure you’re using pure maple syrup for the best quality.

Sea Salt – Use a fine 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. The nuts should appear dry on all sides with a rough sugar exterior.
3. Remove them to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread them out to cool. They will be soft when they are warm but will harden once they are completely cooled.
4. Store in a container or glass jar.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 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 or until the pecans are lightly browned.
• Add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
• Continue to stir constantly until the pecans are toasted and the maple syrup has caramelized. They will have a rough sugar coating and they should look dry and not shiny. Be careful as they can burn very easily.
• Remove to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly to cool. They will be soft until cooled completely.

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.
