Vegan Maple Glazed Pecans Recipe
Looking for a delicious and easy vegan snack or topping? These Vegan Maple Glazed Pecans are the answer! They’re sweet, crunchy, and incredibly addictive. Perfect for the holiday season, or really anytime you crave a little something special.
This recipe is surprisingly simple, using only a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. The star of the show, of course, is maple syrup, which provides a rich, natural sweetness and beautiful glaze. We’re skipping the butter and using a touch of coconut oil to help the pecans toast perfectly and achieve that irresistible crunch.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw pecans
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt (and any optional spices) until well combined.
- Add the pecans to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the maple syrup mixture.
- Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pecans are toasted and the glaze has thickened. Be sure to watch them closely, as they can burn easily.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the glaze will harden and become deliciously crunchy.
- Once cooled, break apart any clumps and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips & Variations:
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy kick.
- Use other nuts like walnuts or almonds for a different flavor profile.
- These glazed pecans are fantastic on salads, oatmeal, yogurt, or simply enjoyed as a snack.
