Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add in the butter and melt. Add in your pecan halves and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring often. 
  • Add in your sweetener, cinnamon and salt. Stir and toast over medium-low heat until the sweetener coats the pecans.
  • Transfer your pecans to a parchment lined baking sheet to cool and dry for 10-15 minutes. Serve them up on top of a salad, in cookies and other desserts, and enjoy!
  • Store at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Sweeten to taste with your preferred sweetener. Brown erythritol is our top choice, as it produces a nice molasses-like flavor and will get nice and crunchy on the nuts.
  • Adding some sugar free maple syrup replacement  or allulose sweetener will produce a glossier nut. 
  • For dairy free or vegan, simply replace butter with coconut oil or your favorite vegan butter substitute.
