Add the pecan halves to the honey mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the tray.

Roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the pecans are golden and fragrant.

Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the pecans with Maldon sea salt while they’re still warm.

Let the pecans cool completely on the tray. They will harden as they cool. Transfer to an airtight container for storage.
