4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the butter and the pecans in a medium bowl and toss to coat.
  • Spread the pecans in one layer in a shallow baking pan or a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Shake the pan, stirring the nuts two or three times while baking to prevent scorching.
