Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Put coconut oil and honey in a skillet on medium heat and completely melt to a runny liquid. Add the pecans and pinch of salt and set a timer for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for the first few minutes, then start to stir more frequently. When the timer runs out, check that pecans have turned darker and have become sticky and caramelized. Don’t leave on heat too long as they can burn quickly.
  3. Spread out pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let cool for 1-2 hours or until cooled completely.
  4. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature. Best used within 1 week. Can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
