Pecan Brittle

A nutritious alternative to popcorn.

Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Total: 15 mins
Serves: 6
Caramelised pecan brittle pieces in a white bowl

Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the rice syrup in a bowl. Add maple essence if using and stir. Add the pecans and coat thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Spread out evenly on baking paper on a baking tray.

  3. 3

    Cook in a preheated oven at 180°C fan, 200°C electric, or Gas 6 for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven and slide the baking paper onto a wire rack to cool.

  5. 5

    Should be cool enough to eat after about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    They will keep in an airtight box for a few days — if they're not eaten in minutes!

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on them in the oven — the rice syrup can catch quickly towards the end.
  • Maple essence is optional but adds a lovely depth of flavour.
