These Candied Pecans are only made with raw pecan halves and maple syrup. There’s no eggs or refined sugar, but you won’t be able to tell!

These maple candied pecans are roasted in the oven and have a deliciously sweet and roasted crunch. They’re so good they taste like candy!

I love adding these maple pecans to dishes as a nice crunch factor, especially salads, but they also make the perfect snack that you can’t get enough of!

Ingredients in Candied Pecans:

Raw Pecan Halves– I used unsalted and have not tried salted, but if you use salted you most likely do not need any extra salt.

Mape Syrup- use 100% pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup.

Salt- optional, but provides a nice balance to the maple syrup and gives you the best sweet and salty mix.

Tools needed to make Candied Pecans with Maple Syrup:

  • Glass bowl– I used the smallest bowl for this recipe
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper– make sure your use parchment paper and not tin foil. They will stick to the tin foil as they harden, but they peel right off of parchment paper. Also, these parchment paper sheets are life changing. I use them for everything!
  • Cookie sheet– these are the exact cookie sheets that I use. They’re heavy duty and easy to clean.
