Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves or pieces (about 3 ounces)
Instructions
- Prepare the pecans: Arrange the pecan halves or pieces in a single layer on the air fryer rack placed inside the air fryer basket or oven-style air fryer to ensure even roasting.
- Air fry the pecans: Set the air fryer to 300 degrees F and cook the pecans for 3 to 9 minutes, depending on how roasted you like them. Stir or shake the basket halfway through cooking to help them roast evenly. Refer to notes for time adjustments.
Notes
- For lightly roasted pecans, cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- For medium roasting, cook for about 5-7 minutes.
- For a deeper roast and more crunch, cook closer to 8-9 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Allow pecans to cool slightly before serving; they will crisp up as they cool.
