Maple cinnamon pecans

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. Spread pecans over parchment lined baking sheet. Place pecans in oven and toast for 8 - 10 minutes until fragrant.

3. Remove pecans from oven and let cool to room temperature. In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined and butter is melted.

4. Add pecans to a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with maple syrup mixture and toss until well coated. Spread pecans back onto parchment lined baking sheet. Return to oven and roast at 300 for about 18 - 20 minutes.

5. Remove from oven. Using kitchen tongs, remove warm, sticky pecans from baking sheet to a parchment lined cooling rack. Spread them apart so that they don’t touch each other while they cool. Once cooled, place in an airtight container or package as you like to gift others.
