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
- 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.
- Prepare Pecans: Place the pecan halves into a large mixing bowl, ready for seasoning.
- Add Olive Oil: Drizzle the pecans evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which helps the seasonings adhere and promotes roasting.
- 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.
- Toss to Combine: Mix thoroughly to ensure all pecan halves are coated evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the pecans in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet so they roast evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the pecans to roast and the spices to infuse.
- 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.
