    Fun facts about Pecans

    Pecans are one of the most eaten nuts in North America and by far one of my favorite nuts to bake with. They are great in pies, muffins, and cookies. These pecans can easily be enjoyed as a topping and our new way as a snack. Remember I am always looking to find new ways to play with food. I found a new way to have fun, roasted pecans in the air fryer. Enjoy these 5 fun facts.

    • You can trace the history of the pecans back to the 16th century.
    • If grown in perfect conditions, a pecan tree can produce pecans for up to 300 years
    • Albany Georgia is known to be the world’s capital of pecans with over 600,000 pecan trees
    • The word “pecan” means “a nut that requires a stone to crack” in Algonquin
    • Pecans and walnuts are related

    To make honey-roasted pecans you will need:

    • 2 1/2 cups ( 1 bag 10 oz.) pecans halves
    • 1 tablespoon honey room temperature
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Instructions:

    1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the pecans and drizzle the honey over them. Mix the pecans with the honey ensuring they are coated.
    2. Add in cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Mix the pecans with the spices ensuring they are coated.
    3. Pour into the air fryer basket and cook on the manual setting at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
    4. Then, when the pecans have a nice roasted/golden color, pour them into a cookie sheet to cool off. Separate them a little as they will be sticky. Allowing them to cool off they will dry out and become more crispy.
    5. Store them in an airtight container.
    6. Serve and Enjoy!
