Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the pecans and stir continuously for 3 minutes, to lightly toast the pecans. Add in the brown sugar, and stir for an additional 2 minutes to melt the sugar. Stir in the cinnamon and salt, and add the water. Cook, stirring continuously, until the water is evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and stir to coat. Remove from heat and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
