This will help in the pecans once cooked less likely to stick. Oh and now they sell something just for not sticking and baking.
• 3. Next you are going to do the hardest part...laying each coated pecan on the cookie sheet with some room in between. Bake approximately 30 minutes until lightly browned. Park cookie sheet on a cookie rack to cool a bit. Easy with the spatula getting them off the cookie sheet. Seal in an airtight container.
• 4. You can freeze these to wait on the holiday but trust me, they are just as good eaten straight out of the freezer.
