<\/div>\n<\/p>\n These Candied Maple Pecans are made with just three ingredients and are the perfect sweet and salty snack to have on hand around the holidays or throughout the year. Add them to salads or charcuterie boards, or place them in jars for an easy hostess or neighbor gift!<\/p>\n This is the kind of recipe I absolutely love to have on hand. These Maple Candied Pecans are easy to make, use ingredients I almost always have on hand, and make a perfect snack, appetizer, or gift. Oven roasting is a simple method that\u2019s completely hands-off and foolproof, which means no babysitting or burning.<\/p>\n They also happen to be gluten-free, refined sugar free, and vegan! It\u2019s a festive holiday miracle!<\/p>\n I first made these for our Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Goat Cheese<\/a><\/strong>, but I snacked through about half of them before they ever made it into the dish. I knew immediately I\u2019d be making a lot more for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.<\/p>\n Made with just pecans, maple syrup, and salt, this sweet and savory snack is irresistible. I love to keep a bowl on the countertop for easy snacking, but we\u2019ve also added them to salads<\/strong><\/a>, yogurt bowls, pancakes<\/strong><\/a>, and ice cream. We\u2019ve got all the tips for making maple pecans, plus variations and ideas for gifting below!<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n Courtney<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 1: <\/strong>Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pecans evenly over top. Drizzle with the maple syrup, then stir and redistribute the pecans in an even layer across the pan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 2: <\/strong>Roast the pecans in a 350 degree oven for 6 minutes, then toss. Roast for another 5-6 minutes, or until the maple syrup is frothy and thin and the pecans have taken on a golden brown color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 3: <\/strong>Sprinkle the pecans with salt and toss a final time, then transfer the pecans to another clean sheet of parchment paper, spreading them out to dry and cool completely. (It\u2019s okay if you snack on a few here! It\u2019s hard to resist!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n These pecans are an awesome addition to salads, adding crunch and a hint of sweetness. They pair particularly well with Apple Fennel Salad<\/a><\/strong>, Autumn Pear Salad<\/strong><\/a>, and Summer Berry Salad<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n These are also a great match for sweet potatoes. Try them with Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes<\/strong><\/a> or Mashed Sweet Potatoes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n I love eating maple pecans for breakfast on top of a Healthy Banana Split<\/strong><\/a>, Apple Butter Overnight Oats<\/a><\/strong>, Amish Baked Oatmeal<\/strong><\/a>, or Apple Cinnamon Pancakes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n And of course, these are great added to your favorite desserts. Lay them on top of Carrot Sheet Cake<\/strong><\/a> for an easy decoration or serve them with Caramelized Apple Pie<\/strong><\/a> and ice cream for the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget about cheese boards! Try adding maple pecans to a festive Holiday Charcuterie Board<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Fellow pecan lovers, you\u2019re also going to love:<\/p>\n Sign up for the\u00a0NeighborFood email community<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to get recipes in your inbox ad free and access exclusive content from us!

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Spread the pecans over the sheet and drizzle with maple syrup, stirring to coat. Redistribute the pecans evenly across the pan. Roast for 6 minutes, stir, then roast another 5-6 minutes, or until the maple syrup is foamy and thinned out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remove from the oven, sprinkle the pecans with salt and toss, then transfer to a clean sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spreading out the pecans so they don’t stick together. Cool completely before storing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Candied](\"https:\/\/neighborfoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/maple-pecans-3.jpg\")
