Add these to a salad or scatter them alongside the pickles and crackers on your charcuterie or set them out before you serve your meal as an irresistible snack. In any case, they'll bring a little fancy, a little salty, a little sweet to your table. The secret is starting with top-quality nuts. And don't walk away while they're on the burner; they can go from not-quite-ready to a-little-too-done in an instant.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
Instructions
- Place a silpat mat or a sheet of parchment paper on the counter to cool the pecans at the end.
- Melt butter in large cast iron skillet or frying pan. Add nuts, sugar, and salt. Stir to coat nuts throughly. Keep stirring for about 3 minutes, until nuts are browned and sugar is melted.
- Spread nuts on mat or paper. Cool. Serve or store for up to a week in air-tight container.
