Stir in maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until beans are nearly tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove lid, add rosemary, and cook until liquid evaporates and beans are tender, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top beans with chopped pecans and serve.
