These easy candied pecans have a delicious brown sugar-cinnamon coating. Sweet, crunchy, and full of nutty flavor, they're a lovely gift, tasty snack, or great topping for salads, desserts, and more.
Ingredient
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1½ cups raw pecan halves
Direction
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, stir together the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves and bubbles, about 1 minute. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until coated, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet and set aside to cool and crisp up.
Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, candied pecans keep well for up to a week. Freeze them for longer storage.
