Candied Pecans

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped pecans, in baking aisle (not roasted or salted)
• 1 tsp light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tbsp salted butter
• Coarse salt
• Light oil or olive oil

Instructions

1. Add enough oil to a cast iron skillet to gloss the bottom of it (not much, about a teaspoon or two depending on the size of the pan)

2. Toast the pecans until their color has darkened and they've crisped up

3. Melt about a tablespoon or two of butter into the skillet and toss the pecans in it to cover

4. Add a sprinkle of brown sugar and toss to coat

5. Allow pecans to crisp and moisture to absorb, remove from heat

6. Place on a piece of parchment to cool, keeping the pecans separate so they don't stick

7. Add a light sprinkle of coarse sea salt or kosher salt to taste
