Ingredients

2 cups raw unsalted pecan halves
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the pecans over the sheet and drizzle with maple syrup, stirring to coat. Redistribute the pecans evenly across the pan. Roast for 6 minutes, stir, then roast another 5-6 minutes, or until the maple syrup is foamy and thinned out.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the pecans with salt and toss, then transfer to a clean sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spreading out the pecans so they don't stick together. Cool completely before storing.

Notes

Store cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll keep for about two weeks.
Feel free to add your own favorite spices! I like to add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon around the holidays. Cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and finely chopped herbs are also lovely.
