Candied Maple Cinnamon Pecans

Kemper Funk

These nuts are made to go with the Strawberry Spinach Salad (also included in this cookbook) but have become a hit to be eaten any time! My family and friends love them.

3 cups whole raw pecans

⅓ cup real maple syrup 

3 Tbsp. avocado oil

½ tsp. cinnamon 

½ tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. sea salt

Mix all ingredients together and spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 minutes, take out, stir and return to the oven, stirring every two minutes or so, for about a total of 10-12 minutes, until bubbles slow dramatically and the maple syrup mixture is clinging to the pecans. Remove and set aside to cool, spreading pecans evenly and separating as much as possible so they don't harden in one large batch. Makes about 3 cups.
