Spicy Maple Balsamic Roasted Pecans
3 tablespoons Maple Balsamic Vinegar
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup Chipotle Infused Olive Oil**
4 cups raw pecans (two 8-ounce bags)
1 tablespoon of water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the brown sugar, maple balsamic, chipotle olive oil and water in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together well.
Add pecans to maple glaze.
Use a large spoon to stir, making sure all the pecans are coated well.
Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil. Spread pecans onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast pecans in oven for 20 minutes tossing 2-3 times throughout cooking time. With different ovens varying in temperature, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the pecans during the last 3 minutes; they can burn easily.
Remove pecans from oven and stir frequently throughout cooling time (about 5 minutes) to prevent clumping.
**In place of Chipotle Infused Olive Oil, you can substitute our Blood Orange Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Garlic Infused Olive Oil for a less spicy but unique flavor combination!
