Ingredients
3 Tbsp Maple Dark Balsamic Vinegar
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
4 Cups raw pecans
1 Tbsp water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the brown sugar, Maple Balsamic, Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil, (cinnamon), and water in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together well.
Add pecans to maple glaze.
Use a large spoon to stir making sure all the pecans are coated well.
Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil. Spread pecans onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast pecans in oven for 20 minutes tossing 2-3 times throughout cooking time. Ovens tend to vary in temperature, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the pecans during the last 3 minutes; they can burn easily.
Remove pecans from oven and stir frequently throughout cooling time (about 5 minutes) to prevent clumping.
