Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
- 0.333 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, coconut sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir continuously until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth and just beginning to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the pecan halves to the saucepan and stir to coat them thoroughly with the honey mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until the pecans are golden and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to harden as they cool.
Step 8
Once fully cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
