1. Preheat oven to 350F ***** 2. Toss pecans in a bowl with the maple syrup and salt and optional pepper. ***** 3. Place pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Place on the middle rack for 14 minutes. Toss at 10 minutes, and check at 12 minutes, as all ovens are different. You want the nuts to toast a bit, so I try to go to the full 14 mintues. ***** 4. Remove from oven. Let cool completely. Break apart. Store in jar.
