Easy Keto Candied Pecans (Stovetop Recipe)
These sugar free candied pecans are crisp, buttery, and perfectly sweet with no added sugar making them the ultimate keto-friendly snack or salad topping. With only 4 ingredients, you’ll love how quick and easy these low carb pecans are to make for holidays, desserts, or everyday snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoon Lakanto Monkfruit Golden or Swerve Brown erythritol
- 2 tablespoon butter
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat a medium sized skillet on medium-low. Add the butter and melt.
- Add the pecans, Lakanto monkfruit (or brown erythritol), and a pinch of salt to taste.
- Make sure to stir constantly so the butter/monkfruit mixture doesn't burn. Stir until the sauce is melted and the pecans are toasted.
- The caramelized butter/"sugar" sauce will be runny at first, but as you let it sit it hardens very quickly. Eat warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- Either a non-stick skillet or stainless steel will work
- Don't leave the nuts unattended on the stovetop, butter and nuts burn quickly and your snack will go from delicious to ewww quickly ;)
- Feel free to use a variety of nuts to make a tasty keto nut snack mix
- We used golden keto sweetener, a granulated low carb sweetener should work also.
- Mix in melted chocolate or a splash of bourbon or even bacon. Add cayenne pepper to make keto spiced pecans.
