Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of Di Oliva Maple Balsamic Vinegar
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup Di Oliva Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 cups of raw pecans (two 8-ounce bags)
1 tablespoon of water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine the brown sugar, maple balsamic, extra virgin olive oil and water in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together well. Add pecans to the maple balsamic mixture. Mix well, making sure all the pecans are coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with extra virgin olive oil. Spread pecans onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast pecans in oven for 20 minutes tossing 2-3 times throughout cooking time. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the pecans during the last 5 minutes as they can burn easily. Remove pecans from oven and stir frequently throughout cooling time (about 5 minutes) to prevent clumping.
