This sweet and salty recipe for Maple Roasted Pecans has become a favorite in our house. The pecans find their way into most salads, and end up on top of many soups. They have found a home alongside cheeses and appetizers at parties. They even make their way into our lunch boxes as a healthy snack during the school or work day. These make a perfect crunchy finish to the Apple and Cranberry Salad that I posted back in November. They are just as easy to make, and delicious to eat, as my Maple Roasted Pumpkin Seeds recipe. Most recently, they were the perfect finish to a Shaved Brussels Sprout and Apple Salad that I will post soon.
Simple to make, it takes less than five minutes to toss the ingredients together in a mixing bowl, then spread the pecans onto a baking sheet, and they are perfectly crisped after fifteen minutes in the oven. Flavored with maple syrup and a sprinkle of Papa Joe's Salt, these maple roasted pecans are sure to liven up any salad, bowl of soup, or cheese board! Enjoy!
