Easy Toasted Pecans | Sweet & Savory
Hey, hey! I hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving! We sure did. I’m not sure what happened, but all of a sudden it’s super warm here and I’m ready for Winter to come back! How am I supposed to feel festive while I decorate for Christmas when it’s 60 degrees outside!? 🙂
I’m so happy to share this quick and easy recipe for toasted pecans. This recipe has been made around the holidays by my family for decades. I remember Memaw making these when I was little. She usually had them in a candy dish for us to nibble out of. Good memories.

I decided to also make my own spin on the toasted pecans savory version with my own sweet idea. Both are delicious and festive. You could easily make these for gifting in treat bags or little tins. 🙂
Easy Toasted Pecans {Savory}
- 1 pound pecan halves
- 1 stick butter
- Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add pecans and cook until warm and covered in butter. Spread pecans over a large baking sheet and toast 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and place pecans on paper towels. Salt pecans semi-generously. Turn pecans and salt again. Try not to eat them all. 🙂
Easy Toasted Pecans {Sweet}
- 1 pound pecan halves
- 1 stick butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add to the butter and stir until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add pecans and cook until warm and covered in butter. The sugar mixture won’t completely cover the pecans. This is okay. The sugary bits are delicious too! 🙂 Spread pecans over a large baking sheet and toast 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and place pecans on paper towels. While pecans are hot, sprinkle generously with sugar. Enjoy!
There’s serious yum here, folks. Serious YUM!
