To toast pecans in the oven:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

  3. Remove from oven and chop or use as desired.

Notes

  • Pecans: Cooking times vary depending on which method you choose and how many pecans you are toasting. And don't walk away! They can go from zero to burnt in under a minute.
  • Oil: Toasting pecans in fat (olive oil or clarified butter, for example), is optional. It adds more flavor and helps seasonings stick, if you want to use them.
  • Yield: The recipe as written makes 1 cup of toasted pecans (enough for 4 servings, ¼ cup each). It can easily be doubled or tripled as needed.
  • Storage: Store raw and roasted pecans for a year or more in the refrigerator or the freezer (not the pantry). They spoil easily, especially when roasted.
