When Refinery29 came round to ask for my favorite fast and fool-proof holiday appetizers, these babies were some of the first I concocted. As chic as baked brie sounds, and as sumptuous as maple rosemary pecans taste, the whole wondrous mess takes under 10 minutes to make.
And yes, as their title suggests, I do happen to have a very strong relationship with my toaster oven. Where else can you make toast, sweet potatoes, quesadillas, banana bread, and apple wedges with baked brie and maple rosemary pecans? The toaster oven is a magical land of plenty.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp olive oil
