Are Pecans Healthy?

Pecans are super healthy and filled with amazing nutrients. We love pecans because they

  • Improve digestion.
  • Boost immunity.
  • Contain anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Are filled with monounsaturated fats to help lower the risk of heart disease.
  • Contain high amounts of plant protein!

How to Make Them

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 17 degrees Celsius.
  2. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and syrup; mix well. Cook until bubbly, stirring constantly.
  3. Add pecans and cook for about 3 minutes while stirring constantly, until coated. Spread mixture cookie sheet lined with parchment-paper.
  4. Bake for about 8 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown. Cool pecans completely.

What are glazed pecans good for?

Glazed Pecans are great for a lot of different things! We LOVE glazed pecans on top of salads or just by themselves ;). Also, we totally think glazed pecans are great as appetizers for parties or the holidays. Crowd favorite, right?

Can I substitute the sweeteners in this recipe?

We have not tried any substitutions, but the sweeteners in this recipe could totally be replaced! Also, if you are wanting to enjoy this while being VEGAN, you could totally replace the butter with coconut oil.

How do I store these glazed pecans?

If anyone manages to have any of these pecans left over, we definitely recommend storing them in a ziploc bag or airtight container.

    I used to be a restaurant manager and we used to make these in massive batches! We used them on salads mostly, but we also used them on our mashed sweet potatoes and in our wraps. So yummy! The only thing we did different is to add just a pinch of cayenne. It was a ”just barely there, can’t quite put my finger on it” something that made them a popular topping. I’ve also used white pepper for a subtle difference. Both are massive hits with everyone who has tried them. I make them ALL the time – and at every holiday. I always know to bring copies of the recipe also…
