For an extra layer of flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. Keep a close eye on the pecans during the last 15 minutes of baking as they can burn easily. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Transform humble pecans into a symphony of buttery, salty perfection with this effortless recipe. A warm, crunchy delight that's impossible to resist!
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). (5 minutes)
In a medium bowl, gently toss the melted butter with the pecans, ensuring each nut is generously coated. (2 minutes)
Spread the buttered pecans in a single layer on one or two baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with sea salt flakes. (3 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting. The pecans are ready when they turn golden brown and the aroma fills your kitchen. (60 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring to airtight containers for storage. (30 minutes)
