Description

Sweet, salty, and so addicting! These easy candied maple cinnamon pecans are made without dairy or refined sugar for a perfect paleo/vegan treat or a great topping to your favorite hearty salad!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups whole raw pecans
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil (I have used olive oil instead, however bc of the high baking temp, I prefer to use an oil that won’t break down)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Mix all ingredients together and spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (it’s very important to line your baking sheet bc the maple syrup mixture will caramelize and you will have a hard time getting it off of your pan once it cools!).
  3. Bake in the oven for 6 minutes, take out, stir and return to the oven, stirring every 2 minutes or so, for about a total of 10-12 minutes, until bubbles slow dramatically and the maple syrup mixture is clinging to the pecans.
  4. Remove and set aside to cool, spreading pecans evenly and seperating as much as possible so they don’t harden in one large batch.
