Ingredients
-
1 cup
pecans, whole or pieces
-
1/4 cup
100% pure maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon
sea salt
Directions
-
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Add the pecans, maple syrup, and vanilla to the pan.
-
Stirring constantly, cook for 3-5 minutes or until the syrup has caramelized. There should be no liquid left in the pan.
-
Scatter the pecans evenly onto a sheet of parchment paper. Working quickly and using a couple forks, spread the pecans so they don't clump together as they harden.
-
These harden within about 30 minutes, but it's best to let them cool for a couple hours before storing them in an airtight container. When not kept in an airtight container, they can get a little sweaty. They can be kept at room temperature for several weeks.
