Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides so the bars can be lifted out cleanly.

Spread the chopped pecans on the lined pan in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, then toss to coat. Roast for 8–10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are fragrant and the syrup has dried to a light glaze. Transfer to a plate and let cool while you prepare the crust.
