Spicy Pecans

  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp. hot or smoked hot paprika
  • 1 tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • honey (to taste) – start with 2 tbsp.

Start with measurements above and keep tasting and adjusting the dressing until you like the flavor. When they come out of the oven you can let them cool for a while; they should be slightly sticky when you serve them.

This is a great recipe because you can keep tasting the dressing and get the exact flavor you want before dressing the pecans. Also, if you find they are not sticky enough or need more flavour then you can just make more dressing and toss them again.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. In a medium bowl, mix butter, Worcestershire, all spices and honey, or very gently heat all in a saucepan. Toss the pecans with the dressing.

  3. Spread coated pecans on a medium baking sheet and cook 30 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring approximately every 10 minutes.
