Candied Pecans with a Hint of Cinnamon and Sea Salt
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of pecan halves
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add 4 cups of pecan halves to the skillet and stir to coat the pecans with the sugar mixture.
- Continue to cook the pecans, stirring constantly, until the sugar crystallizes and coats the pecans, about 5-7 minutes.
- Spread the candied pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt over the pecans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are golden and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and let the candied pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break apart any clumps and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- Enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for salads, yogurt, or desserts.
