Ingredients

Pecans:

  • 2 lbs pecans (between 4–6 cups depending on size)

Coating:

  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 200F.
  2. Prepare baking pan: Place a silicone baking sheet or a layer of foil on a baking pan, sprayed with non-stick spray.
  3. Mix coating: In a mixing bowl, combine all coating ingredients except pecans. Stir until fully mixed.
  4. Coat pecans: Add pecans to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Bake: Spread coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 200F for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.
  6. Cool and store: Once baked, cool the pecans and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • You can make these Paleo-friendly by using coconut or palm sugar instead of brown sugar.
  • Prepare the baking sheet with a silicone mat or non-stick foil to prevent sticking.
  • If you don’t have molasses, maple syrup can be used as a substitute.
  • Granulated sugar can be used instead of brown sugar, but the flavor may be less intense.
  • Don’t discard the crumbs on the baking sheet; they make a tasty topping for various desserts.
