Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the pecans, tossing thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent the nuts from sticking or burning.
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Once completely cooled, transfer the Creole Roasted Pecans to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
