Preheat the oven to 350°F and gather all your ingredients.
In a glass mixing bowl, combine the pecans, melted butter, and salt (if using).
Stir with a silicone spatula until the pecans are fully coated in butter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the coated pecans evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 7–10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally so they brown evenly without burning. Once baked, sprinkle with a little extra salt, if desired.
Transfer the toasted pecans to a serving bowl and enjoy!
Stove-Top Method
Warm a skillet over medium heat.
In a glass mixing bowl, mix together the pecans, melted butter, and salt (if desired).
Toss with a silicone spatula to coat the pecans thoroughly.
Add the coated pecans to the preheated skillet and cook for 2–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle with a little salt, if you like.
