Today's Recipe from the Eco-Soul Kitchen: Maple-Coated Pecans
Maple-Coated Pecans
Yield: 1 pound (4 cups)
1 pound (4 cups) pecan halves
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup organic raw cane sugar
· Preheat the oven to 375°F.
· Spread the pecans on a large baking sheet and toast for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking.
· Remove the pecans to a large mixing bowl, combine with the oil, and stir with a spoon until thoroughly coated. Add the maple syrup, stir until well coated, then add the sugar and stir until well coated.
· Warm a large heavy cast-iron skillet to medium-high. Add the pecans, scraping the bowl to remove all the juices, and stir constantly with a spoon until the pecans are fragrant and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
· Transfer nuts to parchment paper to cool for 10 minutes.
· Serve warm.
