Instructions

Unroll the pie crust dough and fit it into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Set it aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roast the pecans for 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Then, coarsely chop them.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and sea salt until well combined. Next, fold in the chopped pecans and semisweet chocolate chips.
Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is set firmly.

Tips:

Pick the freshest pecans for the best taste. Roast pecans for 5 to 10 minutes before folding them into the filling mixture. It adds a crunchy texture and brings out a decent nutty flavor to the final product.
Cool down the pie completely before slicing. The pie sets perfectly with a flaky crust and firm filling in the center while it cools to room temperature.
