How to Make Roasted Cinnamon Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine pecans (or walnuts), butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pecans are golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows them to crisp up further.
  6. Once completely cool, transfer the roasted pecans to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
