Description
Whether you're baking for the holidays or snacking on a weekday, Healthy Maple Candied Pecans provide the perfect salty-sweet combo with a satisfying crunch! I love them overtop salads, oatmeal, grain bowls, or on their own as a tasty snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw unsalted pecan halves (or walnuts)
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the pecans, avocado oil, maple sugar and salt on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper and toss until evenly coated. Spread the nuts out so they are not touching.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then enjoy! You can sprinkle with more salt or pure maple sugar if desired.
- Store leftovers (once completely cooled) in an airtight container at room temperature for us to 3 days.
Notes
You can use maple syrup in place of the maple sugar in this recipe but the result will be more sticky/messy. It is still delicious!
