Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups pecans
  • 0.25 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cups honey
  • 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pecans, brown sugar, honey, salt, and melted butter. The pecan halves should be well coated.
  3. Spread the coated pecans evenly on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring them after 7 minutes. The pecans are done when they are a deep brown color.
  5. Remove from the oven. Stir the pecans, spreading them out. Let cool completely before serving. If not crunchy enough, bake longer.
