Ingredients

Easy Stovetop Candied Pecans (Vegan)

  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup unrefined cane sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 cup pecans

Instructions

Easy Stovetop Candied Pecans (Vegan)

  • Set a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Set aside
  • In a pan over medium high heat, add the pecans, cane sugar and the vegan butter.
  • Stir everything together with a wooden spoon and heat for about 5 minutes, until the sugar and butter have melted together and nuts are coated. Watch carefully and keep stirring so it doesn't burn.
  • Once nuts are coated, transfer to parchment paper, separating nuts. I like to use a silicone tons or spatula and pull them apart quickly so that they don't set together.
  • Allow to cool until hardened and either use immediately or place in an air-tight tupperware container for up to a month.
