Ingredients

  • 3 cups pecans whole, shelled
  • 3 tbs honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Plus more

Instructions

  • Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Set oven to 250°F. Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Toast pecans. Spread pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes to lightly toast.
  • Coat with honey and salt. Transfer warm pecans to a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of honey and stir to coat. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon salt and mix well.
  • Slow roast for flavor and crunch. Re-spray the cookie sheet. Spread coated pecans in a single layer. Bake at 220–250°F for 1½ to 2 hours, checking often and stirring once halfway through.
  • Finish and store. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and separate any clumped nuts. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Honey-roasted pecans stay fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate in a sealed container.
What is the secret to luscious roasted pecans? Roasting at a low temperature for 1-2 hours.
