Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon turbinado or coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup, warmed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2½ cups raw pecans or 3 cups pumpkin seeds (bulk bins)
- pinch pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Prepare a large baking sheet fitted with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the glaze is smooth. Add the nuts or seeds. Toss to coat.
- Spread nuts onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 20 minutes, turning once. Remove from the oven, add the salt evenly and stir the nuts to prevent from sticking to the parchment. Let cool completely. Store cooled nuts in a sealed glass jar.
Notes
Tips for crunchy candied pecans:
Leave space between the pecans on the pan.
This will allow the pecans or pepitas to get nice and crunchy.
