Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and fresh lemon zest. Mix thoroughly to form a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly toasted.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, store the spicy pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or enjoy them immediately as a snack.
