Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, add the erythritol, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sweetener starts to dissolve and combines with the butter to create a glaze, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the sweet spiced glaze.
Step 4
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the glaze thickens and clings to the pecans.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the spiced pecans onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet, spreading them out to prevent sticking as they cool.
Step 7
Let the pecans cool for 2-3 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.
