Calories 197kcal
Equipment
- non-stick pan
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecans shelled, un-roasted, unsalted
- 1 - 2 tbsp Earth Balance
- 2 - 3 tbsp pure maple syrup I like the dark/amber robust kind now Grade A, formerly Grade B
- ½ tsp salt fine salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper can use less or omit, but these aren't really spicy, it balances the flavor.
Instructions
- Line a a space on the counter top, pan or cutting board with parchment paper
- Melt the Earth Balance in a non-stick pan over medium heat and add pecans.
- Toast at medium heat, stirring and tossing until pecans are fragrant and have deepened in color, about 6 - 9 minutes
- Add maple syrup, cayenne pepper and salt to the pecans, stir for 1 - 2 minutes. The syrup will bubble and caramelize.
- Transfer the maple pecans to parchment paper lined pan or cutting board. As they cool they will crisp up. Try not to burn your mouth on them while they are cooling.
