Ingredients

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add unsalted butter to the skillet and melt it completely.

Step 3

Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture starts to bubble slightly.

Step 4

Add the pecan halves to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the honey mixture.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes or until the pecans are glossy and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Spread the pecans out into a single layer, ensuring they don’t clump together as they cool.

Step 8

Let the pecans cool completely at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. They will harden as they cool.

Step 9

Store the honey glazed pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
