Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 cups
Ingredients
- 4 cups raw pecans
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon filtered water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner, and roast the pecans for 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly crispy and fragrant.
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the maple syrup and spices for about 5 minutes, until warm and slightly bubbling.
-
Stir in the warm roasted pecans and filtered water. Fold through for 3 to 4 minutes stirring constantly until the nuts caramelize, and the liquid reduces, is completely absorbed, crystalizes, and the pecans are dry.
-
Spread the pecans back on the lined baking tray, and allow to cool and harden for about 20 minutes.
-
Store in a sealed container.
