Equipment
- 1 baking pan
Ingredients
Sweet Candied Pecans
- 2 cups pecans or nuts or seeds of choice
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt or whatever salt you have on hand
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or whatever sweetener you like here (honey, cane or monk fruit all work good too)
Spicy Candied Pecans
- 2 cups pecans or nuts or seeds of choice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika or I like the Tajin Spice here too
- 2 tbsp avocado oil I choose a higher smoke point oil here but you can use what you have.
Instructions
- Mix all your sweet ingredients in a bowl or all your spicy ingredients into a bowl. Be sure to give it a good stir so the nuts are well coated.
- Spread out your nuts evenly on a baking sheet so they are not too crowded. I do like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable oven liner to make clean-up a breeze!
- Bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Remove let the nuts cool, then store them in the fridge for 2 months or freezer for 6 months in an airtight container.
