- 1/2 cup white sugar 🍚
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂

- Pour half of the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss several times. Add the remaining sugar mixture and continue to toss until the pecans are evenly coated.
- Bake:
- Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure they are evenly toasted.
- Cool and Store:
- Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
