Description

I love a great batch of candied peanuts, and my easy Candied Pecans recipe is amazing! It is a great and sweet, salty snack, and they make a perfect garnish for a great big summer salad. Plus, so easy to make in the air fryer!

Ingredients 

  • 2 1/2 cups raw pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350℉, air fryer setting, and line the tray with foil before placing it in the basket.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients until well combined. Make sure the sugar blend gets in all of the nooks and grooves of the pecans.
  • Pour the nut mixture into the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 3 minutes. Give the basket a shake and cook for 2-3 minutes longer or until the nuts are shiny and fragrant.
  • Pour out on a parchment or Silpat-lined baking tray and let cool for at least 15 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
  • Serve as a snack with fresh fruit and cheese or as a crunchy addition to a salad. Enjoy!
