STEP BY STEP HOW TO MAKE VEGAN CARAMELIZED PECANS

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

Preparing the pecans:

  • Preheat the oven to 360º F or 180°C.
  • Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even toasting. Set aside.

Caramel preparation:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and water.
  • Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Add the coconut oil, vanilla essence and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth.

Caramelize the pecans:

  • Add the toasted pecans to the pan with the caramel, making sure all the pecans are well covered.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure that all the pecans are enveloped in the caramel.
  • Remove the caramelized pecans from the pan and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, separating them to prevent sticking as they cool.

Cooling and storing:

  • Let the caramelized pecans cool completely before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
