  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Pecans should be golden and fragrant.

    • Spicy twist: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet-and-spicy combo.
    • Brown sugar version: Replace half or all of the white sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
    • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks—or freeze for longer shelf life.
