Toasted pecans add buttery, nutty crunch to everything from a green salad to an ice cream sundae. You can use any type of dry heat to toast pecans, though the oven tends to be the easiest method. But no matter how you do it, vigilance is key. Letting the nuts cook for even a minute too long can ruin them.

Toast pecans dry or toss them with melted butter and sea salt, chopped herbs, or a combination of sugar and cinnamon. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven or toaster oven until they start to darken and smell nutty, which should take between 5 and 10 minutes. The longer they toast, the darker the pecans become. You can also toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. This method requires you to stir the pecans often so they toast evenly. Even the microwave works for small batches of pecans. Arrange a single layer of nuts on a microwave-safe plate and nuke them for 1-minute intervals until they become crunchy.
