Instructions
Toast the Pecans
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add pecans in a single layer. Toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant. Remove pecans and set aside.

Add butter and sugar to the same skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter melts and sugar dissolves and begins to turn golden and caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Coat and Cool
Return pecans to the skillet and stir quickly to coat every pecan in the glaze. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt then immediately spread on parchment paper and allow to cool for 3 minutes.
