Next Step for the Low FODMAP Pecan Pie

While the pie crust is in the oven, get started on the filling. First, you’ll toast the pecans by placing them on a tray in the toaster oven for a few minutes. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn, but you will want them to have a slight nutty fragrance. 

Allow the toasted pecans to cool in a bowl prior to giving them a rough chop. Make sure to set aside about 10-20 of the pecan halves to use for pie decoration later on!

Bake the pie for 35 to 42 minutes, or until its slightly browned along the rim and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pie. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing it up.
