Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and coconut sugar together. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until well combined.
Step 4
Add the pecan halves into the saucepan and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sugar-oil mixture.
Step 5
Spread the pecans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't clumped together.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and to coat the pecans more evenly.
Step 7
Once the pecans are golden and aromatic, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispy as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, break apart any pieces that have stuck together and store the praline pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.
