Total waste of my pecans
Very good. Could have used little less butter for my taste.
I loved these pecans. I used pecans I bought at the farmers market, and they turned out beautifully. I accidentally used too much butter because I only had about four cups of pecans, and so it took about 75 minutes to bake, but I think as long as you keep an eye on them and stir periodically there’s almost no way you can mess this recipe up.
Modified the amount of butter for a little over 3 cups of fresh GA pecans to 1/4 cup. Ended up in the over for about 40 minutes (I was paranoid of overcooking them based on some of the other reviews so I kept checking about every ten minutes after an initial time of 15.) Couldn’t be a more simple recipe though and so tweakable to your taste, although these sweet, fresh GA pecans didn’t need more than a little butter and salt! 🙂
Too buttery. Read a few reviews and take the advice from those who tweaked the recipe!
Simple and tasty!
Delish. I used the toasted pecans for a candy recipe (mini Pretzels, Rolo Caramel candy, & pecan halves). Perfectly toasted to bring out the flavor.
Adjusted butter down to 2 Oz per 2 lbs of pecans. Might lower butter just a little more next time (maybe – 0.5 oz)
This is delicious. I do think there is a bit too much butter. Also tried with success adding Worcestershire Sauce and garlic. Came out so good! And also tried with cinnamon and sugar which makes a great flavor!
Too much butter. I used 1/2 cup per pound (4 cups) of pecans. Was still a bit much. I love butter – but not a fan of seeing the pecans swimming in it. With less butter – this is a great recipe. Added lots of salt then put them on paper towels to cool.
They burned after only 20 minutes in my oven
I baked at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes and they were perfect. Thanks for the recipe!
Pecan Perfection. These were a huge hit on the Thanksgiving appetizer table; everyone wanted the recipe. I did watch them as they baked, as I know nuts are easy to burn, and it was a bit less than one hour. I followed the rest of the recipe verbatim. I had a few stashed away to refill the plate but then forgot about them until the next day, when I tried them over vanilla ice cream. They were simply wonderful. Such an easy recipe and such a delightful treat.
O…M…G!!! 3 simple ingredients – who knew? I know ppl hate it when altered recipes are reviewed but I have allergies OK! I used butter with freshly cracked salt and nuts. O…M…G!!! This is too addictive.
I reduced the butter per the other reviews…added some coarse salt. Soooo yummy! Very rich and tasty. I’m making some more this weekend!
Followed the recipe to the letter but they scorched the pecans.
So Easy, So Good! I only used 3/4 stick of butter, and fresh ground sea salt. Baked at 275F for 40mins stirring every 10mins. Yummy!!!
Having in-laws who grow pecans, there are always pecans around. You can use a microwave instead of oven. I use the same ingredients give or take amounts of butter and salt, depends on your taste. I add about a teaspoon of cold butter, couple of shakes of salt, a microwave dish, set on high for one minute and stir between minutes. A cup of pecans can “roast” in about 5 minutes. My family loves this snack year round!
Worked perfectly, used with a whiskey based beef tenderloin roast recipe and they were amazing!
I omitted the salt and made a smaller portion and the pecans turned out awesome! I made them to top my french toast egg casserole; it was perfect combination with the creamy, sweet casserole and the crunchy pecan–yummy!
The 1 stick of butter vs full cup is much better. There was still butter floating around on the tray. Cook only for 45 minutes. The hour mark many had over toasted and become yucky/ semi burnt even with stirring at 10 minutes.
