Quick & Easy Toasted Pecans
Toasting pecans is such a quick and easy way to enhance their flavor and texture. While you may have skipped this additional step in past recipes, I want to convince you to break that habit! Today’s post will show you how to toast pecans using two simple methods and just one ingredient–it’s so easy! If you’ve made my butter pecan cookies, pecan pie, or hummingbird cake, then you’re probably already familiar with the oven toasting method I’m sharing today. I’m also sharing a stovetop method for times when you don’t have the time or patience to turn on your oven (although the oven method is still my preference!). Both are equally easy and yield the same results, so you can decide which is your favorite. Once cooled, you can use your toasted pecans in the recipes mentioned above, or really any recipe that calls for pecans. They’re also great on salads or as a snack!
What You Need
Prepare yourself for this very succinct ingredient list… SAM’S TIP: The two methods explained here will work for just about any nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, etc. If you’re looking for instructions on how to make candied nuts, check out my candied pecans or candied walnuts post.
