This easy Honey Roasted Pecans recipe take less than 20 minutes to roast with sweet honey, sugar and salt. Honey-Glazed Pecans make a great snack or homemade gift idea!
I’m about to make a confession here. The holidays stress me out. And not in a “too busy” kind of way, because I love seeing family and friends and catching up. The holidays stress me out in a “too much stuff” kind of way. The “stuff” overwhelms me, and because of it, I turn to EASY food options, like this simple recipe for delicious pecans.
“This turned out very good. After eating some, I have memories of pecan pie without all of the calories. I would make them again.”
