Ingredients

Scale

Spiced Pecans

  • 2 cups Pecan Halves
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Sage
  • 1 tsp Ground Thyme
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Pecans: Place the pecan halves into a large mixing bowl, ready for seasoning.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle the pecans evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which helps the seasonings adhere and promotes roasting.
  4. Season Pecans: Sprinkle the pecans with 1/4 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground sage, 1 teaspoon ground thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to create a fragrant, spiced flavor profile.
  5. Toss to Combine: Mix thoroughly to ensure all pecan halves are coated evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the pecans in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet so they roast evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the pecans to roast and the spices to infuse.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and toss to separate any clumps. Allow the pecans to cool to room temperature before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  • Stir pecans halfway through baking if you prefer even roasting and to avoid burning.
  • Store cooled spiced pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • You can adjust the herbs and spices according to your preference for more or less intensity.
  • Perfect for snacking, topping salads, or adding crunch to cheese boards.
