Categories     Fruit

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb pecan halves, unsalted raw (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine pecans and oil in 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker, stirring to coat. Cover and cook on High for 15 minutes
  • In a small bowl, combine the herbs and spices. Remove the cooker cover, and sprinkle the mixture over the pecans, stirring to coat them evenly with it. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2-1/2 hours.
  • Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and let cool completely. When cool, the nuts may be storied in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to use. Serve warm or at room temperature. Properly stored, the pecans will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest pecans you can find. Look for pecans that are plump and have a smooth, light-colored shell. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the pecans in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings. The spices and seasonings you use will determine the flavor of your Ragin' Cajun Pecans. Some popular spices and seasonings to use include cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the pecans, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the pecans will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pecans until they are golden brown. The pecans are done cooking when they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook the pecans, or they will become tough.

Conclusion:

Ragin' Cajun Pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a little bit of creativity, you can also use Ragin' Cajun Pecans to create other dishes, such as salads, trail mix, or even ice cream.
