Description
A deliciously crunchy treat made with pecans and pepitas, coated in a sweet maple syrup mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups roughly chopped pecan halves (raw/unsalted)
- 1 cup pepitas (raw/unsalted)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275˚F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Add the pecans and pepitas to a medium bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the maple syrup mixture over the nuts and stir until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the sheet pan and spread it into an even, thin layer.
- Bake on the lowest rack of your oven for about 33-35 minutes, rotating the sheet pan halfway through baking. The brittle should be browned around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the sheet pan. Once cooled, break apart into bite-sized pieces.
- Keep stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- This brittle is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later consumption.
