FAQ's
Because pecans are so versatile, this golden-brown tasty treat is a perfect ice cream or yogurt topping. You can mix with air fryer pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. You can also chop them and sprinkle over Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice donut Holes or warm oatmeal or mixed with plain cream cheese spread over a warm pumpkin pie bagel.
Pecans are a great nut to make into crusts because they are firm and can be finely chopped down to make a crispy, flakey crust. You can also mix in with favorite recipes like Air Fryer roasted brussels sprouts or butternut squash.
Place pecans in airtight container or storage bag lined with a paper towel (prevents drying out). When freezing them wrap in plastic wrap or cling wrap (helps prevent freezer burn) first before placing them in an airtight container for storage or in a freezer storage bag for up to 2 months.
