Directions

01
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
In small bowl, toss pecans with maple syrup and black pepper to coat. Spread pecans on prepared baking sheet and bake in centre of oven for 10 to 12 minutes, without stirring, until toasted. Remove and cool on baking sheet on a rack. As maple syrup cools, it will caramelize and harden onto the pecans.
03
The pecans can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator or freezer for up to 1 month.
