Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a more vibrant flavor and a better texture than stale pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • Toast the pecans before spicing them. Toasting the pecans brings out their natural flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices that you use to flavor your pecans are up to you, but some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. Pecans can easily burn, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're cooking. Once they're golden brown, remove them from the heat and let them cool.
  • Store the pecans in an airtight container. Spiced pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
