I have a pretty serious problem with these candied pecans. I mean, I don't want to admit this but in the interest of full disclosure, I ate all of them. Not in one sitting mind you, but I ate every single pecan. They really are that good. Of course they are though, right? It's not like I'm going to post a loser recipe on my blog.
One other side note about these little babies is they're vegan! Hooray!
1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 lb raw pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
First, mix together the sugar, paprika and salt. It's way important there are no lumps because otherwise your pecans will have random bursts of powder. Not cool.
In a different bowl, coat the pecans in maple syrup.
Add the spice mixture and make sure it's as evenly coated as you can get it. Then bake it for about 25 minutes at 325F.
