Pecans Recipes

Pecans are rich, buttery tree nuts with a naturally sweet flavor and crisp-tender crunch. They work beautifully in both sweet and savory recipes, from classic pecan pie and cookies to roasted vegetables, salads, granola, stuffing, and crusted fish or chicken.

Toasting pecans brings out their deepest flavor and makes them especially useful as a finishing ingredient. Add chopped pecans to muffins, quick breads, brownies, oatmeal, and baked apples, or use them whole in snack mixes, candied nuts, and holiday desserts.

Because pecans contain delicate oils, freshness matters. Use them where their flavor can shine: folded into batters, sprinkled over creamy soups, blended into pesto-style sauces, or paired with maple, brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, squash, sweet potatoes, and dark chocolate.
