Keto Candied Pecan in Oven

When you make the candied pecans in the oven, they crystalize and turn a really sweet and sugary texture. When you make them, be sure to use a brown sugar substitute like Sukrin Gold or Monkfruit Gold Sweetener. This will give you the best results.

These pecans are perfect for snacking or entertaining. If you have a party coming up, bring a bowl of these pecans. No one will be able to tell they are ket0-friendly, and you’ll have something that you will enjoy snacking on with everyone else.

How To Store Keto Candied Pecans

You can store them in a sealed bag or container and keep them at room temperature in your pantry or on your counter. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to a week.

If you want them to last even longer store them in your refrigerator. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

You can freeze them – they will last about 2 months in the freezer. However, to prevent them from freezing into a giant iceball spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them that way first. After they are completely frozen, you can store them in a mag together and put them back in the freezer.

Other Ways To Serve Candied Pecans

Not only do these pecans make the perfect snack, but you can use them as a keto-friendly crunching topping for lots of different foods. Add it on top of your favorite low-carb ice cream.

Another delicious way to enjoy these pecans is to toss them on top of a fresh salad or even sprinkle them on your pancakes or these Flaxseed Muffins!
