Categories     Candy     Nut     Quick & Easy

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tbsp maple sugar
1 tbsp water
85g pecans
pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Place 2 tbsp maple sugar in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Heat for 2 mins, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Tip in 85g pecans and cook until the sugar turns golden brown and coats the nuts. Sprinkle over a pinch cayenne pepper, season with a little salt, then turn out onto baking paper, separating out nuts as much as you can. Leave to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweet, nutty flavor and a crisp texture. Avoid pecans that are dry or shriveled.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. You can add more or less chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder, depending on your preference.
  • Roast the pecans at a low temperature. This will help to evenly distribute the spices and prevent the pecans from burning.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. The pecans should be roasted until they are fragrant and golden brown, but not so long that they become dry or brittle.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will allow the spices to set and the pecans to develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Spiced maple pecans are a delicious and versatile snack or topping. They can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads or yogurt, or used as a topping for ice cream or pancakes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of spiced maple pecans that will be a hit with everyone who tries them.
