Instructions
For The Maple Candied Pecans:
Heat a
pan
over medium low heat.
Add pecans and pure maple syrup.
Stir the pecans pretty consistently and you’ll start to see the maple syrup crystallize and coat the pecans in a sugary coating. This should take about 5 minutes.
For The Honey And Sea Salt Candied Pecans:
Heat a
pan
over medium low heat.
Add pecans and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to heat through.
Add in honey and stir to evenly coat.
Add almond milk and stir until the liquid resembles a caramel.
Remove from the pan and lay, separated, on a sheet of parchment paper.
Light sprinkle sea salt over the pecans and allow to cool.
For The Spicy And Sweet Candied Pecans:
Add pecans, 1 tbsp. coconut sugar, and Sriracha to a small bowl and mix to coat.
Add the coated pecans to a
pan
over medium low heat and cook for 4-5 minutes until crunchy and the sugar is melted.
Pour the nuts onto a sheet of parchment paper and toss with the remaining ½ tbsp. coconut sugar.
Let cool.
