🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

2. Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

3. In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.

4. Stir the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

5. Pour the butter and spice mixture over the pecans in the bowl. Toss the pecans thoroughly to coat them evenly with the mixture.

6. Spread the seasoned pecans out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

7. Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the pecans are golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.

9. Store the cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
