Preheat oven to 350ºF and line medium baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Combine: In a medium bowl combine pecans with maple syrup until well coated. Sprinkle on sea salt and stir again.
Bake: Transfer coated pecans to lined baking sheet, spreading out in single layer. Use a silicone spatula to scrap out leftover maple syrup and add to pecans on sheet. Bake for 6 minutes, remove to stir, then continue baking another 5-7 minutes, until you see maple syrup has soaked well into pecans (but make sure to not over-bake).
Cool: Allow pecans to cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes – the pecans will harden as they cool. Make sure pecans are cooled completely before storing.
Notes
