Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, chipotle chili powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until fully combined.
Add the pecan halves to the saucepan and toss them gently but thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is some space between each pecan to prevent clumping.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring them halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Honey Chipotle Pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
