Toasting pecans in a pan is so simple! You simply want to evenly spread out your pecans in your frying pan and cook them on medium heat.ĭo not add oil! They have enough natural oils in them that they will not stick to the pan. They smell fantastic when they are toasted in a pan! 1. That might be what you are looking for though! Toasting pecans in a pan is very easy to do and is a little faster than in the oven but I find that they do not toast as evenly. If you like toasted nuts your going to enjoy toasted walnuts. Once they are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cook for 5-10 minutes, and then ENJOY! You can always pull one out and test it to see if tastes “toasted”. You will see the change in color pretty quickly. You don’t have to stand over them and watch them like you would if you were cooking them on the stove but still check them about 7 minutes in to make sure they are not burning. Place the pecans in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Try to cook in the middle rack so that you do not burn them and get even heat. A sheet pan has more surface space to spread them out making it easier to make batches. Lastly, I use the oven because you can toast more at once. They can still burn but they toast up nicely and give them a great nutty flavor. They won’t burn so easily.Īnother reason that I prefer the oven is that they toast up more evenly without you needing to standby and flip them. One being, that can leave them in the oven to do their thing. So keep a close eye on them.The oven is my preferred method when toasting pecans for a few reasons. If you do opt to chop the pecans and then toast them they do roast more quickly and will probably burn if left for more than 5 minutes. Chopping first before you roast pecans works, but they will be a little more dry and less flavorful. NOTE: They tend to be much more flavorful if you roast before you chop. Let them cool a bit and then chop if desired. They will look just a little darker and smell delicious. It won’t take but another 2-4 minutes total. Pecans burn easily so I always check them frequently.Ĭook for 2 more minutes at a time until you can begin to smell the roasted nuts. Place nuts on a cookie sheet and spread them out evenly.
