How to Make Crunchy Glazed Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, corn syrup, water, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the pecans to the saucepan and stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all pecans are evenly coated with the glaze.
  5. Spread the glazed pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the pecans are golden brown and the glaze is caramelized and crunchy. (Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary).
  7. Remove from oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. The glaze will harden as it cools.
