Nuts can get pretty boring on their own, so why not jazz them up and make these roasted maple pecans? They’re sweet and salty and utterly delicious. What’s not to love about pecans glazed with maple syrup and roasted in the oven until they’re caramelized? Pecans are also healthy since they're full of protein and magnesium, which can help reduce blood pressure. Reducing blood pressure is key for stressed-out students like myself.
The sweetness in these nuts makes them addictive. They taste like fall on a tray. These roasted maple pecans make a great snack by the handful, and they are wonderful added to salads.
These roasted maple pecans take no time at all to make, and only require three ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

Bake the pecans for 35 minutes, taking out every 10 minutes to stir, until the maple syrup hardens. Let cool, then enjoy! These keep for a few weeks when stored in an airtight container.
