- Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pecans evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a single layer to facilitate even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the pecans are toasted and the coating has set.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pecans onto a wooden cutting board. This step helps prevent over-baking and allows for easy separation of any pieces that may have stuck together.
- Allow the candied pecans to cool on the cutting board before breaking them into individual pieces. Once cooled, savor the delightful combination of sweetness and crunch.
