Candied Pecans
Candied pecans – this quick and easy recipe is a household favourite. We use pecans in salads, with roasted sweet potatoes, and in baking, too. I usually make these to order (or make for a recipe that calls for them). But you don’t have to wait, you can make them any time! Okay, let’s get cooking.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pecans
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- salt to taste
Instructions
- First, measure out your ingredients. You can use whole pecans, or break them up if you’re looking for more of a candied nut. Oh, and grab a sheet pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Okay, in a skillet heat the butter until it’s melted and dump in the pecans.
- Once you dump in the pecans you’ll want to ensure the pan has your full attention. Cook the pecans in the butter for about 3-4 minutes until well coated. Then, add the brown sugar and salt, ensuring you're keeping the pecans moving.
- Stir continually until the sugar is all melted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Then, once the pecans are nice and coated, dump onto the lined sheet pan and spread them out. Then chop and add to your recipe, or snack on them!
