- Chopped for salads
- Baked into pies
- Mixed into granola
You can enjoy these pecans straight from the package for a quick and satisfying snack. For enhanced flavor, try toasting them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, or spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 8-10 minutes. Be sure to watch them closely to prevent burning. Chopped pecans can be stirred into muffin batter, sprinkled over roasted vegetables, or folded into cookie dough before baking. They also make a wonderful topping for yogurt or oatmeal.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and crispness, store any unused pecans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator or frozen, which helps to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming rancid.
