These roasted pecans are a tasty appetizer or snack that is rich and nutty. There are two versions of my recipe—one savory and one sweet. Both are mouthwatering!

I prepared two batches of these roasted pecans a few weeks ago. When they were all taken out of the oven, I felt foolish. On our counter, roasted pecans were stored in the jar after jar.

We would eat them for weeks, in my opinion! However, it turned out that these roasted nuts are such a delicious snack that when Jack and I finished one handful, we would always go back for more.

There was not a pecan in sight two days later.

These roasted nuts would be ideal to bring to a party or get-together this week if you’re looking for a quick, festive dessert.

You and everyone you share them with will adore them because they are crunchy and delicious with a toasted, buttery flavor. I include a savory and sweet version of the dish. Both are mouthwatering. Enjoy!

Pecans: How to Roast Them

The allure of roasted pecans is that they are both incredibly tasty and easy to prepare. Here’s what I do:

Season the pecans first. Put them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and season them as desired.

You’ll combine the pecans with olive oil, maple syrup, finely chopped fresh rosemary, and sea salt for my savory recipe version, Maple Rosemary.

For the seasonings to cover the nuts equally, toss well. Then, arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Then bake! Bake the nuts on the baking sheet for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and toasted, in a 350° oven. On the baking sheet, let them cool a little. Finally, add sea salt to taste before serving.

Variations on the Roasted Pecans Recipe

The procedure is essentially the same for making Cinnamon Sugar, my sweet recipe variation. The only variation is that you’ll use sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to stir the nuts in place of olive oil, maple, and rosemary. then bake for fragrantly long. So simple!

Unsure about which variant to choose? Nothing can go wrong! The Cinnamon Sugar Pecans are delicious for sating a sweet tooth because they are coated in sugar and toasty spices.

The irresistible Maple Rosemary roasted nuts are a savory snack packed with a woodsy, nutty taste. Both instantly vanish in our home.

Tips for Serving and Storing Roasted Pecans

For up to 5 days, the roasted nuts store nicely at room temperature in an airtight container. You can keep them on hand for a fast snack or serve them as an appetizer at a gathering.

The rosemary pecans give salads and bowl a lovely crunch, while the cinnamon sugar pecans make an excellent ice cream topping.
