Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roast the pecans on a pizza pan in the oven at 350°F uncovered for 5 minutes, stir, and roast for another 5 minutes for a total of 10 minutes, then set aside.

Melt the butter in the microwave.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of light brown sugar and the melted butter, mixing well.

Add the chopped roasted pecans to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Let the mixture cool slightly before adding 2 large eggs to avoid cooking them with the hot butter.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Pour the filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell and smooth it out.

Bake the pie uncovered in the oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before serving.
