Roasted Pecan Nuts [LOW FODMAP]

Roasted Pecan Nuts for Christmas!

Christmas is creeping up on us and so is my love for baking. There is a few certain things I need every year and roasted almonds is one of them. This year I’ve been going to a nutritionist and been told I need to go on a low fodmap diet for a short period. Almonds, turns out, is not low fodmap. This website is not going to be focused on low fodmap – and it’s still going to have Nordic cuisine as a core, but I will add [LOW FODMAP] on the title, as there is many people who will benefit from it – as this is something that many people struggle with. Perhaps without even knowing.

Anyway, this recipe for roasted pecan nuts brings me just as much joy as roasted almonds – and just as much Christmas spirit! I hope you will love this recipe as much as I do – I simply cannot stop myself from grabbing a few every now and then.

Goes well with a cup of Royal Hot Chocolate, or a warming cup of Mulled Pear Cider.

Roasted Pecan Nuts

400 g pecan nuts

1/2 dl water

150 g sugar

1 tbsp butter

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2. Roast your pecan nuts for 15 minutes! This will give them a wonderful flavor.
3. Add water and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for about 2 minutes.
4. Add the pecan nuts and reduce the heat to medium-low.
5. Keep stirring until the sugar crystalizes and coat the nuts. They will look white at this point. Here is the patience test.
6. Keep stirring on medium low heat until the sugar starts to melt again. This took me around 20 minutes.
7. When the nuts are nice and shiny again, add the butter and stir that in.
8. Transfer to a baking sheet and let cool.
9. Store in an air tight container.
