Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Stir pecans and oil in medium bowl to coat. Mix sugar, cayenne, and salt in small bowl, then add to pecan mixture and toss to coat. Scatter coated pecans on prepared baking sheet. Bake until pecans are brown and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
Tips:
- Choose the right pecans: Look for plump, unblemished pecans with a light brown color. Avoid any pecans that are cracked or have dark spots.
- Roast the pecans before glazing: Roasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To roast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
- Use a good quality glaze: The glaze is what gives the pecans their sweet and crunchy coating. Make sure to use a glaze that is thick and flavorful. You can use a store-bought glaze or make your own using a combination of sugar, butter, and spices.
- Stir the pecans frequently while glazing: This will help to ensure that all of the pecans are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Let the pecans cool completely before serving: This will help the glaze to harden and become crunchy.
Conclusion:
Crunchy glazed pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or topping for desserts. They are perfect for holiday parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of crunchy glazed pecans that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet and crunchy snack, give these crunchy glazed pecans a try!
