Maple Candied Pecans
An easy vegan candied pecan recipe that can be used for snacking, topping salads, or adding to a cheese board.
Ingredients
- 1 and 2/3 cup pecans raw
- 1/3 cup maple syrup pure
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large skillet. Stir to combine and turn the stove on to medium.
- Allow the mixture to start bubbling and stir very frequently with a silicone spoon. After 4-5 minutes when you notice the mixture beginning to thicken, reduce the heat to low-medium.
- Continue stirring so that the syrup doesn't burn. The mixture will start to thicken and get sticky. Keep going and stirring frequently until the coating on the nuts begins to crystallize. This process will take about 12-15 minutes.
- Remove nuts from heat and transfer to parchment paper to cool before eating.
- Enjoy!
