Notes

Top Tips for Success

  • Stir the pecans every 10-15 minutes so that pecans are evenly browned. The slow roasting process helps absorb the cinnamon spices and sugars into the pecans.
  • To make this even easier, melt the butter in the microwave and pour in the melted butter along with the remaining ingredients to form the sugar coating. Coat the pecans and place them onto the baking sheet to spread evenly across
  • Spread the pecans evenly so that there is little to no overlap across the baking sheet. This will allow the pecans to roast evenly and absorb all the flavors in the mixture.
