Ingredients
2 ½ cups (247.5 g) pecans, halved
¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup (85 g) honey
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the pecans, brown sugar, honey, salt, and melted butter until the pecan halves are well coated.
Spread the coated pecans evenly on the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, stirring at the 10 and 15-minute marks to ensure even cooking. The pecans are done when they are a deep brown color.
Remove from the oven, stir the pecans to spread them out, and allow to cool completely before serving. If the pecans are not crunchy enough, return them to the oven to bake longer.
