- In a large bowl, combine honey and pecans, then add the cinnamon and mix until well coated.
- Place the nuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 250 degrees F / 121 degrees C for 5-6 minutes. If not cooked enough, you can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the nuts are golden and the coating is bubbly. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn.
- Remove the nuts and spread them out on a lined baking tray to cool before serving.

Pro Tips
- Check your pecans and discard any pieces of shells.
- Store unused pecans in the freezer to help them last longer.
- Microwave the honey for 10-15 seconds if it is too thick.
- Mix the nuts, honey and cinnamon well to make sure they are evenly coated.
- Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with oil to keep them from sticking.
Plus…..
- Shake them halfway through the cooking process to encourage even cooking.
- If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
- Watch the nuts closely and don’t allow them to burn. Remove them from heat as soon as they turn golden as they can burn quickly.
- Allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container or packaging as gifts.
- As the coating cools the nuts will firm up.
Delicious Variations

FAQs
Pecans can go from perfection to burned and bitter in a flash, so it’s important to watch them closely.
The coating should be bubbly and the nuts should just start to darken to a golden brown. Remove them from the heat as soon as this happens so you don’t burn them.
Store pecans in ziptop bags or an airtight container. No refrigeration is needed so I like to keep small snack-sized bags in my purse or in the car.
