Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it for 20-30 seconds or until fully melted.

Step 4

Add the pecans to the bowl of melted butter and stir well to evenly coat the nuts.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt over the pecans and mix again to distribute the salt evenly.

Step 6

Spread the pecans in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Keep a close eye on the pecans during the last few minutes to prevent burning, as they can brown quickly.

Step 9

Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted pecans to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately as a snack or topping.
