For a deeper flavor, toast the pecan halves lightly before coating them. Watch the nuts carefully during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning, as ovens can vary. Walnuts or almonds can be substituted for pecans for a different flavor profile. A sprinkle of sea salt after baking enhances the sweetness and adds a delightful contrast.
