Nuts are one of my favorite snacks!  They are highly nutritious, contain antioxidants and may reduce inflammation.  There are many types of nuts and normally I eat them plain and unsalted, but sometimes its good dress them up.  This recipe for cinnamon maple pecans gives a hint of sweetness without the guilt. They are perfect for a snack or as an appetizer for a party.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. Distribute pecans evenly on the sheet.  Add coconut sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup and salt onto pecans and mix thoroughly.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until brown.  Allow nuts to cool for 10 minutes.
