How to Make Candied Pecans
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups pecan halves with 1/4 cup water and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Toss gently to coat the pecans evenly with the sugar and water mixture.
- Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the sugar is caramelized and the pecans are fragrant and toasted. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and immediately slide the parchment paper with the pecans onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the pecans from sticking together.
- Once completely cool, break apart any clusters of pecans and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
