Description
Make perfectly crunchy, sweet candied pecans in the air fryer. Quick, easy, and non-sticky, they’re ideal for snacking, desserts, salads, or holiday treats.
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 temperature to 350 degrees F, 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!
