Googie’s Kitchen – Delicious Roasted Pecans

Snack time is my favourite time of the day. As long as I have a couple of go-to sweet treats in the cupboard or fridge at snack time I know I will be OK. We all love a mid morning or mid afternoon treat and these roasted pecans are definitely a favourite of ours. They are great to keep in the cupboard or as an on-the-go snack. The blog and video link are below the picture so please feel free to check them out.

In the past I have soaked and baked a variety of nuts and seeds. But I never thought about coating them in different ingredients. Then I thought about how I could get my husband to eat pecans. As well as pecans he loves maple syrup so I then decided to cover the nuts in maple syrup and coconut oil. Once I tried a few of the Maple Roasted Pecans I then put them in another sweet treat. So my husband hasn’t even tried them yet. Oh well, maybe next time Hozza!

Maple Roasted Pecans are so yummy. I actually had to hide them from myself so I didn’t eat them all at once. They are sweet, crunchy and full of flavour. As long as they are kept in an airtight container they will keep for a couple of weeks. That’s if you can keep your hands off them for that long. As I mentioned earlier I used them in a different recipe and that recipe will be on my blog soon. So watch out for that on my channel. However you decide to eat this yummy snack, as always, enjoy.
