Maple Balsamic Glazed Roasted Pecans

Try these delectable glazed nuts as a snack, salad or ice cream topping, as a crust for baked chicken or an accoutrement for an antipasto platter. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Maple Dark Balsamic Vinegar
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
4 cups raw pecans
1 Tbsp water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the brown sugar, Maple Dark Balsamic Vinegar, Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil, (cinnamon), and water in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together well.
Add pecans to maple glaze.
Use a large spoon to stir making sure all the pecans are coated well.
Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with Butter ‘Taste’ Olive Oil. Spread pecans onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast pecans in oven for 20 minutes tossing 2-3 times throughout cooking time. Ovens tend to vary in temperature, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the pecans during the last 3 minutes; they can burn easily.
Remove pecans from oven and stir frequently throughout cooling time (about 5 minutes) to prevent clumping.
