Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the pecans and granulated sugar. Toss them together until the pecans are evenly coated with sugar.

  3. Spread the sugared pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.

  4. Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly toasted.

  5. While the pecans are baking, zest the orange using a microplane or fine grater, avoiding the bitter white pith.

  6. Once the pecans are done toasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes.

  7. While the pecans are still warm, sprinkle the orange zest over them, tossing gently to coat evenly.

  8. Allow the Orange Pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.

  9. Enjoy these Orange Pecans as a snack on their own, or use them to top salads, desserts, or oatmeal.
