Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco or your preferred brand)
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne powder, garlic powder, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl. Pour the spiced butter mixture over the pecans and toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap too much.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the tray. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
