Cinnamon Candied Pecans (Paleo)
Oh my goodness! These are so good. John and I had gone to our grandson, Chandler’s, Volleyball competition at the convention center, and there was a vendor selling bags of these candied pecans. I felt sure there would be a Paleo way to make these. The recipe below is a combo and adjusted recipe from the ones I found. This was also the most simple one. The only thing I am still not sure about is how to get the pure vanilla in evenly. This last test I added it to the coconut oil in the pan. This seemed to work well except that I should have added it before I heated the oil.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Pecans
1/8 Cup Coconut Oil or less (Just cover the bottom of your skillet well.)
3-4 TBLS Cinnamon Sugar (Your Preference on Spice/Sweetener amounts)
1 – 1 1/2 t. Cinnamon
1 – 1 1/2 t. Pure Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
How to:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Line cookie sheet with Parchment Paper
- Place the Coconut Oil and the Pure Vanilla in skillet on low heat.
- Add the Pecans
- Combine the other ingredients and sprinkle over the Pecans
- Toss for a few minutes
- Place and spread evenly on cookie sheet
- Bake for 10 minutes
Shortcut:
If you want to make these a little quicker and easier, this works too:
- Preheat oven to 350
- Place Pecans on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake 7-10 minutes
- Place Coconut Oil in a big skillet
- Add the Cinnamon Sugar, Cinnamon, Salt (and some Vanilla Extract if desired.)
- Toss and cool
These are delicious on green salads::
