Crunchy, addictive air fryer pecans in two delicious flavours!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or unrefined coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or date syrup or liquid sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 cups pecan halves

Directions

  1. 1

    Determine which flavour you're making, the sweet or the spiced. Then combine the first four ingredients belonging to that flavour in a small bowl and set aside. Place your pecans in another bowl and pour the mixture on top. Mix well to ensure each pecan half is coated.

  2. 2

    Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Then spoon the coated pecans into your air frying basket but do not dump them in. Air fry at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes, mixing or shaking the basket at the halfway point. Watch carefully to prevent burning. They cook fast.

  3. 3

    Transfer the pecans to your parchment-lined tray in a single layer to let them cool. Try your hardest not to devour them warm, as they will harden and get crunchy as they cool, which is when they taste best. Enjoy! ;)
