Need a simple sweet pecan snack?
Honey-roasted pecans are easy to make, easy to serve, and easy to keep around for snack time. A little honey, butter, cinnamon, and salt turn ordinary pecans into a golden, sweet-and-savory treat for a snack bowl, gift bag, dessert topping, or quick afternoon bite.
Ingredients
- 3 cups pecan halves or pecan pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: a small pinch of cayenne pepper for gentle heat
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the honey, melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and optional cayenne.
- Place the pecans in a larger bowl. Pour the honey mixture over them and toss until coated.
- Spread the pecans in one even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring every 7 to 8 minutes so the coating cooks evenly.
- Remove the pecans when they are golden and fragrant. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Tips for the best honey-roasted pecans
- Use parchment paper to make cleanup easier and help the glaze release after cooling.
- Keep the pecans in one layer so the honey coating can roast evenly.
- Stir during baking and watch closely near the end because honey can darken quickly.
- Let the pecans cool completely before judging the texture. The coating firms as it cools.
- For a snack board, serve them with fruit, cheese, or other packaged treats.
- For a sweeter dessert topping, chop the cooled pecans and sprinkle them over ice cream or yogurt.
Storage tips
- Cool the pecans completely before storing them.
- Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for easy snacking.
- If your kitchen is warm or humid, refrigerate the sealed container to help preserve the crunch.
- Separate sticky clusters by hand after cooling, or chop them for topping desserts.
