  3. Add 4 cups of pecan halves to the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every single pecan is evenly coated with the mixture.

  4. Transfer the coated pecans to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a single, even layer to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake for a total of 40 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes. At each 10-minutes, carefully lift the parchment paper from both sides to loosen the pecans, gently stir, and rearrange them back into a single layer.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become delightfully crunchy as they cool.
