Spicy Candied Pecans Recipe

What you will need:

  • 4 cups pecan halves
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp. water

In a large frying pan, toast the pecans until you can start to smell the nuts.

Do this over medium heat for about 5 – 7 minutes. 

Add in the butter and allow to melt.

Toss in the spices and make sure to coat all the nuts. 

Add in the brown sugar and water and again, coat everything.

Let the mixture reduce and bubble over medium heat for roughly 5 minutes.

Stir occasionally.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and pour nut mixture onto pan.

Spread nuts in a single layer and allow to cool.

Store in a Weck jar or a mason jar (any airtight lidded container will do)

Serve the spicy candied pecans as a snack, or toss into a salad!

These spicy candied pecans are addicting.

I have been snacking on the spicy candied pecans and have been using them in our Summer salads for dinner or lunch.

My husband’s friends love them, as they are great paired with a beer.

Give them a shot – you won’t be disappointed!
