- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 pinches coarse salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C). This ensures it’s perfectly heated when it’s time to bake your pecans.
-
-
Melt the olive oil and butter together in a saucepan over low heat. This gentle melting process ensures a smooth and even coating for your pecans.
-
Add the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, ground cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to the melted mixture. Stir well until everything is fully dissolved and incorporated, creating a fragrant and flavorful base for your pecans.
-
Toss the pecan halves into the saucepan, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated with the spiced mixture. This step is crucial for infusing every nut with the delicious flavors of the spices.
-
Spread the coated pecans onto a baking sheet, preferably one with a lip to make it easier to shake and turn the pecans during baking. Ensure they’re spread out evenly to allow for even roasting.
-
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, remembering to shake and turn them every 5 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure they’re evenly toasted. This process results in perfectly crunchy and golden-brown pecans.
-
Season your freshly baked pecans with a sprinkle of coarse salt, enhancing their flavors and adding a delightful crunch. Toss them gently to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
-
Store your spiced pecans in an airtight container once they’ve cooled completely. This helps preserve their freshness and ensures they’re ready to enjoy whenever cravings strike.
