Louisiana Roasted Pecan Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Put pecans inside of the pie shell, put on sheet pan and set aside.
• Beat eggs well.
• Mix the salt, butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract well. Add this to the egg mixture.
• Pour this entire mixture over top of the pecans in the pie shell.
• Bake for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Dry roast the 1/2 cup of pecan pieces in a 300 degree F oven until dark; keep an eye on them so they don't burn, though. I start checking after 5 minutes and check frequently after that. When they're dark, transfer pecan pieces to a cutting board or plate and crush a little until they're in very small pieces. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), salt and reserved roasted pecan pieces. Combine thoroughly then stir in the 1 cup of unroasted pecan halves.
• Pour mixture into an unbaked prepared pie shell, place pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
• Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F and bake until filling is browned on top and crust is lightly browned; start checking after about 30 minutes in the oven.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly before serving.
