Butter Roasted Pecans

Keto Butter ROASTED Pecans | Keto Snacks | Low Carb Snacks | Delicious

One of my favorite keto snacks is roasted and salted pecans, I absolutely love, love, love them in fact if I’m not careful I can eat a whole can — and I have before. However, one of the problem with most store bought roasted pecans is the type of oil they are cooked in, most are cooked in soybean or canola oil, which is bad for you Keto or no keto. We recently came across this simple butter roasted pecan recipe and thought we’d pass this along.

The key with roasting these is to watch them and ensure they are not getting too brown, because it seems like each batch of raw pecans is different. We’ve also experimented with adding salt, cinnamon and dusting with artificial sweetener…so far the sweet version I like the best is a combination of Stevia and Monk fruit, you can get this blend from starbucks, I think they are like 1 carb per packet, and I’ve only ever used this on a small amount of nuts.

We also find that these nuts taste better if you microwave them for a few seconds after you bake them and they’ve gotten cold.

Give them a try!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN STARTING THE KETO DIET, AND FIND YOURSELF CONFUSED BY ALL OF THE INFORMATION OUT THERE!?

Some of the best information on starting the Keto Diet can be found at a site called Ruled.me. This site has lots of free information, but if you want a step by step plan I would suggest the Keto Academy Package. This is what I purchased and I still reference the material 18 months later.

  1. Hiya, in the UK pecans are really expensive. Do you think this recipe would work well with walnuts or any other nuts. Thanks

  2. I made this recipe today and I loved it! Thank you for sharing! I have enjoyed several of your recipes and I look forward to your weekly videos!

    1. No worries. We store ours in a plastic container on our counter. They generally don’t last more than 3-4 days before we have to make another batch.

  3. Sorry to bug you again, but the page says the recipe was updated. Instructions say preheat to 305 degrees, in the video you say 300 degrees & also video onscreen instructions say 350 degrees. Which should I use?

    1. Follow the recipe on the blog…unfortunately once we upload a video we can’t make changes to it. The blog recipe is correct. Sorry for the confusion.
