How to Make Louisiana Roasted Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roast pecans: Spread 1 ½ cups pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Stir in the roasted pecans and bourbon (if using).
  5. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
