Mouthwatering Roasted Maple Pecans

Compared to candies pecans, they are lightly sweetened, making them a great healthy alternative to candies and sweets. They are roasted to perfection and coated in a sweet maple syrup glaze.

This recipe couples be more straightforward: mix just six ingredients and roast in the oven.

Flavour bombs
Even with just a few ingredients, this recipe is a flavour explosion because maple can pecans alone are exquisite.

I seasoned the pecans with ginger and cinnamon, but you can use any spices. A little cayenne would help bolster the flavour even more.

Parchment vs. Silicone mats

Parchment or a silicone mat is a must for this recipe, as the maple is caramelized in the oven and becomes very sticky. I use a silicone mat and highly recommend it for many different types of cooking projects.

Silicone mats are more durable and reusable than parchment paper. They are also non-stick, so you don’t need to use additional oil or butter when baking. Silicone mats are also heat resistant up to 480°F, so they can be used in the oven, microwave, and freezer. They are also easy to clean and can be wiped down with a damp cloth and hung to dry.

If you prefer parchment paper, try compostable! It is made from renewable resources and is biodegradable, so it can be composted, reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills. Compostable parchment paper is also free of chlorine and other chemicals, making it a healthier option for cooking.
