Notes

Pecans can be sold as either "pecan halves" or "pecan pieces" - the same weight in either is great, you will just have some smaller bits if you go with the pieces option.
The pecans are going to stick to the parchment paper a little as they bake. I don't recommend using foil to line the tray.
