Taste and texture:
These pecans are nice and crunchy and have the best flavour. They are slightly sweet but also a little savoury. The honey glaze also adds to the amazing texture of these roasted nuts.
Key Ingredients and substitutions:
- Pecans - I recommend using raw pecans, not roasted pecans for this recipe.

- Dijon Mustard - the Dijon Mustard adds a unique flavour profile to these pecans. But don't worry, they don't taste like mustard! You can use any type of dijon mustard that you like.
How to make this recipe:

First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place all the ingredients into a large bowl and stir well until the pecans are coated evenly.
Step three:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the pecans onto it, making an even layer.
Step four:
Bake the pecans for 18-20 minutes, or until starting to brown. Then let them cool and enjoy!
Tips and variations:
- Instead of avocado oil you can use olive oil.
- To change up the flavour you could use a flavoured Dijon Mustard.

- Be sure to use raw, not roasted pecans for this oven roasted pecan recipe.
- These honey glazed pecans make a great gift.
How to store:
Store these pecans in an airtight container or jar for up to 60 days. You can also freeze these nuts for up to 3 months.
Frequently asked questions:
I have not tried making these pecans with a vegan sweetener so I am not sure how they would turn out. If you do want to try it, I would use maple syrup.
Glazed pecans and candied pecans are not the same thing. Glazed pecans are made with liquid sweetness such as honey or corn syrup, while candied pecans are usually made with powdered sugar and egg whites.
