Toasted Pecans

Toasted Pecans lightly seasoned with sea salt.

Ingredients:
4 cups pecan halves
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 300*. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Place pecan halves on foil. Cut butter into small pieces and dot on top of pecans. Sprinkle with sea salt.


Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and gently stir to turn the pecans. Return to oven and continue baking for another 5 to 7 minutes, being care to not over brown or burn the nuts. Set aside to cool. Makes 4 cups.
