Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment rated for the oven temperature.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in maple syrup, sherry, cayenne and salt.
- Toss the pecans with the warm coating using a spoon or spatula. Spread in one layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are fragrant and the coating looks dry. Start checking after 10 minutes and continue as needed, watching closely to prevent scorching.
- Cool completely on the tray. Taste and add a little more salt if needed before serving.
Notes
The base batch starts with 2 cups pecans.
The sherry is an ingredient in the coating; this recipe is not described as alcohol-free.
