Steps

  1. 01Toss with melted butter and seasoning.
  2. 02Ready for the air fryer. Shake at least twice.
  3. 03Cool completely.
Butter instead of oil makes a subtle difference with pecans. The milk solids in the butter toast alongside the nut and add a richness that plain oil doesn't. If you're dairy-free, oil works fine, but butter is the move if you can.
