Toasted Party Pecans

Dec 24, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y'all! Is there anything more southern than a pecan? (PS: do y'all say puh-kahn or pea-can?) While there are many delicious ways to enjoy the nut of the south, I'm excited to be sharing one of my favorite recipes for a gathering with loved ones with y'all today: my Toasted Party Pecans. Easy to make and varied in flavor, these are absolutely delicious, y'all!

Frequently Asked Questions

Should pecans be refrigerated?

Yes! After opening, pecans should be refrigerated. If not, due to the oil content, they can go rancid. I also often keep mine in the freezer.

Should I use whole or chopped pecans for this recipe?

I think whole pecans are best for a party, as they are larger and easier to grab. I often use both, like you will see in these photographs, as it provides visual interest. If you already have one in your house and not the other, no need to purchase the other variety; save your money, as they are delicious either way!

How should I cook these toasted party pecans?

Once seasoned, spread evenly on a baking sheet. I like to line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

How long can these be stored in the refrigerator?

The optimal use of these toasted party pecans is 3-5 days.
