Yield makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup pecan halves (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pecans and remaining ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Cool completely, then loosen from the baking sheet with a metal spatula. Store any leftovers in an airtight tin.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweet, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting brings out the flavor of the pecans and makes them more crunchy. You can toast pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Use a variety of spices. Cajun seasoning is a blend of spices that includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add other spices to your liking, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pecans. Overcooked pecans will be tough and bitter. Cook them just until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Enjoy the pecans as a snack or use them in recipes. Cajun spiced pecans are a delicious snack on their own or they can be used in a variety of recipes, such as salads, stir-fries, and desserts.

Conclusion:

Cajun spiced pecans are a flavorful and versatile snack or ingredient. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and unique treat that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, try making a batch of Cajun spiced pecans. You won't be disappointed!
