Oven-Roasted Salted Pecans Recipe

By Lynda · Jul 10, 2018 · This post may contain affiliate links.

These Oven-Roasted Salted Pecans are a delicious snack.  They’re lower in carbs than those old, stale cookies you have sitting in the pantry right now, plus they are full of nutty-goodness.

Pecans naturally have 19 vitamins and minerals, plus antioxidants, and a one-ounce serving of pecans provides 10% of the recommended daily fiber.

Pecans are a southern staple.  The pecan tree is the state tree of Texas and the pecan capital of the world is in Albany, Georgia.  And pretty much every southerner has had at least one slice of pecan pie.

The following recipe makes one large batch, which is perfect for sharing and keeping some for yourself.  The savory, buttery pecans make great gifts – simply put them in a beautiful jar.  They would also be a great alternative to salted peanuts for your next game night.

How To Make Oven-Roasted Salted Pecans

For this remarkably easy buttered pecans recipe, you need the following ingredients:

  • 2 pounds about 5 cups pecans
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Start by preheating your oven to 250 degrees.

Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with butter and salt; toss well. Bake about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.

When making them, be sure to stir them periodically and remove them from the oven when they start to darken.

    I was wondering, since this has butter on it should it be kept refrigerated in hot humid temp? I love, love salted pecans and i just have to try this.

      I cannot answer this from an authoritarian point of view, but I haven’t had any issues. There are a lot of things made with butter that we leave out. (I even leave salted butter out on my counter!)

      Any raw pecans will work, whether store-bought or picked up off the ground.
