Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Once melted, stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the spiced butter mixture over the pecans and toss until all pecans 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 halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Store the curried pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
