Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, curry powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl and pour the spiced butter mixture over them. Toss the pecans gently to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are toasted and fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or a topping on salads, desserts, or oatmeal!
