Want a sweet pecan snack?
Sweet glazed pecans are the kind of homemade treat that makes a kitchen smell good fast. This easy recipe coats pecans in a buttery cinnamon glaze, then bakes them until the coating is set and lightly crisp. Serve them as a snack, add them to a dessert tray, package them as a gift, or keep a batch ready for your next sweet craving.
Ingredients
- 3 cups pecan halves or pecan pieces
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Step-by-step instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt to a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugars begin to dissolve.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Add the pecans to a bowl. Pour the warm glaze over them and stir until the pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed pecans in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every 8 minutes so the pecans brown evenly and do not stick together in one large cluster.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the pecans cool completely. The glaze will firm up as they cool.
Tips for better glazed pecans
- Use parchment paper so the cooled glaze lifts away from the pan more easily.
- Keep the pecans in a single layer. Crowding can make the coating uneven.
- Stir during baking and watch closely near the end. Sugar can go from golden to burned quickly.
- Let the pecans cool before storing or serving so the glaze has time to set.
- Break apart any clusters while the pecans are still slightly warm if you want individual snack pieces.
- Serve them on oatmeal, ice cream, yogurt, or a dessert board for an easy upgrade.
