• 2 cups pecans
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or dark/amber agave)

1. Preheat oven at lowest setting possible.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and coat pecans well. Place in single layer on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with oil.
3. Bake in oven until nuts are dry to touch – usually about 45-60 minutes.
