Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 1.5 tsp. olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Take raw pecan halves in a bowl. Mix the seasonings with salt and sprinkle all over the nuts. Then spray olive oil and toss well so that the seasonings coat the pecans well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360F or 180C for 3 minutes. Spread seasoned pecans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice during cooking.
- Be watchful as pecans can go from perfectly roasted to burnt in a span of a couple of minutes. I normally go with 3 minutes. But this time will vary depending upon the size of your pecans and the type of your air fryer.
- Transfer the pecans to a plate, and let them cool completely. They may feel not very crispy when you take them out. But, they turn crispy on cooling.
- Once cool, you can store them in an airtight jar. Your tasty air fryer roasted pecans are done. Have them as a snack or as a crunchy topper on salads or in trail mixes.
- This is a small batch recipe that gets over quickly, and the pecans taste fresh. It is much faster than oven.
Notes
1. Be watchful of the time. If doing for the first time, I suggest you check every minute after 2 minutes of air frying time to ensure that they don’t go over.
2. Don't overcrowd the basket. Spread the pecans out in a single layer for even roasting. Also shake basket a couple of times during air frying.
3. You can add other spices or seasonings to the pecans. You can also make a sweet version by adding maple syrup and cinnamon and then air frying.
4. Storage instructions: Let the pecans cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.
