Maple and Rosemary Brown Butter Pecans
Report
With a magical combination of maple syrup, brown butter and rosemary, these are addictively delicious - be sure to make plenty!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups pecan halves
- 1-2 teaspoons salt sea salt
- 4 teaspoons rosemary minced, divided, fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a sheet pan with foil for easy clean up. Lightly grease pan with oil.
- Place butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl with a microwave-safe plate that fits over the top of the bowl*. Microwave on high for 2 ½-3 minutes or until butter starts changing color from pale yellow to a light golden brown. The butter will continue to cook after you remove it and will turn a bit darker, so don't let it go past light golden. Start checking it at 2 ½ minutes and watch carefully. Bowl will be hot, so use oven mitts to remove from microwave. Let the butter cool for about 10 minutes, then remove plate.
- Add maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder and stir. Add the pecans and stir gently to coat, then sprinkle with sea salt and 2 teaspoons of the minced rosemary. Transfer pecans to prepared sheet pan and spread to a single layer.
- Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes. (Every oven is different so be sure to check after 20 minutes.)I like to use a heat-resistant silicon spatula for this so the foil does rip. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons of rosemary and a bit more sea salt. Toss and set aside to cool. Stir several times during cooling to keep nuts from sticking together.
Notes
- * I used plastic wrap to cover the bowl with success but a reader reported that her plastic wrap melted so I amended the recipe to use a plate instead.
