FAQs
How do I store Air Fryer Sugared Pecans?
Sugared Pecans can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to a week. You can also store sugared pecans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and in the freezer for up to two months.
How should I prepare my Air Fryer basket for sugared pecans?
Because this recipe can be a little "sticky", it's important to prepare your Air Fryer basket accordingly. You can use a good coat of olive oil spray on the basket liner, use parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray, or foil sprayed with nonstick spray if your air fryer allows foil.
To make things "less sticky" make sure you are tossing the pecans often to ensure they are thoroughly cooking and not sticking to the basket.
We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! These are perfect to make during the holidays. 🙂

Where does the salt come in? No mention of adding the 3/4 tsp salt into the method of the recipe .
You add the salt to the sugar and cinnamon mixture. I have that corrected! Thanks for pointing that out. 🙂
