These sugar-free cinnamon maple roasted pecans are sweet, cinnamony, and salty. They make a great addition to salads or trail mixes.

Pecans Are One of the Best Choices of Nuts To Eat.
Pecans contain a generous amount of vitamins and minerals and they are high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates. This makes them suitable for low-carb and ketogenic diets.
Preparing the Maple Roasted Pecans.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake them for 9 to 10 minutes. They will burn quickly after they start to brown so keep a good eye on them.
In a small bowl mix the maple flavor and the stevia together.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. Then transfer them to a bowl and spoon the maple mixture over them a little at a time while stirring.
Once the nuts are well coated sprinkle them with the salt and cinnamon. Stir and shake the bowl to coat the nuts evenly.
Let the nuts cool completely before serving.

Rich and Creamy Sweet Potato Casserole With Browned Butter and Cinnamon Maple Pecans

Good morning Courtney, I want to make this sweet potato casserole. What I have been doing is peeling, chopping the sweet potatoes in 1" cubes, drizzlling with olive oil, salt and pepper, oregano, and a little garlic powder. Does not sound good to many, but I like it. However, I have missed sweet potato casseroles, but I do not like all the gook that is on them. Too sweet. Your recipe sounds good. However, I would like to stay away from liquid stevia or any other Keto sweeteners, they leave a metallic taste in my mouth. Can I make this recipe with either honey or maple syrup, or a combination of both? What do you advice?

Hi Catherine!
I like the idea of maple syrup. I would roast them halfway, toss them in a bit of syrup with the (cinnamon and salt) and then put them back in the oven just until the syrup is starting to caramelize. I think it would be easy to burn them though, so watch them like a hawk!
Please let em know how they come out!
