How to Make Candied Cinnamon Pecans Copycat Outback Steakhouse

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each pecan in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 pieces (approximately 1 1/2 cups total).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Add the pecans and toss to coat.
  5. Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the pecans and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the sugar is caramelized and the pecans are fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar will continue to harden as they cool.
  9. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
