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
- Preheat oven to 375.
- 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!).
- 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.
- Remove and set aside to cool, spreading pecans evenly and seperating as much as possible so they don’t harden in one large batch.
