Units Scale

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  2. Place pecans in a large bowl.
  3. Melt butter and pour it over pecans.
  4. Sprinkle the nuts with salt and stir all the ingredients together several times, ensuring the pecans are evenly coated with butter and salt.
  5. Single-layer the pecans on the parchment paper-lined pan.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove the nuts from the oven and turn them over with long-handled tongs.

Notes

  • Keep a close watch on the pecans toward the end of the roasting process to prevent overcooking and darkening them, which can ruin the taste. 
  • Roasted pecans have a richer flavor than unroasted ones and are delicious in a variety of dishes, including salads, cookies, casseroles, and desserts.
