If you would like to give your pecan desserts a bit more flavor and crunch, then toasting the pecans is in order! After toasting your pecans in the oven, there's no denying that taking this extra step will add flavor and depth to your dessert that simply cannot compare. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and spray a casserole dish with a light spray of cooking oil. Next, place the pecans in a single layer in the dish, then place the dish in the oven. Toast the pecans for at least five minutes, and check and stir to see if they have changed in color. You may need to bake the pecans for an additional five minutes or more, and you will need to check on them to ensure they do not burn. Allow the pecans to cool completely before mixing them in your dessert recipe.
