If you’re looking for a simple but delicious festive snack to serve with drinks, this recipe for maple bacon roasted pecans is exactly what you’ve been looking for. 

What I love most about it is that I can make a big batch and keep it for a few days, making it perfect for unexpected guests. It also makes a great gift and is delicious added to any salad during the holidays.

Ingredients

Full roasted pecans recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card. 

  • Pecan nuts. I used pecan halves but this recipe can be made with any nuts and I also like using a mixture of almonds, cashews, macadamias and pecans.
  • Bacon. I used streaky bacon.
  • Fresh rosemary. Sage and thyme are delicious too.
  • Chilli flakes / red pepper flakes. 
  • Maple syrup. Honey can be substituted.
  • Olive oil.

How to roast pecans

  1. Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon until crisp and golden. I love baking bacon in a hot oven as it is the best mess-free way to cook bacon. You can cook it in a frying pan or in the air fryer too. Remove the bacon from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Chop into pieces approximately half the size of the nuts.
  2. Mix the nuts: Toss pecans, crispy bacon, maple syrup, finely chopped rosemary and chilli flakes in a mixing bowl and mix well. Stir in the olive oil. Transfer the nut mixture to a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast the nuts: Place the pecans in the oven and allow to roast for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven then allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve.

Can this be made ahead

Yes, these nuts can be made up to 2-3 days in advanced and kept at room temperature in an airtight container.
