Tips:

Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans have a better flavor and texture than stale pecans. Look for pecans that are plump and free of blemishes.

Toast the pecans before using them: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.

Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can use any spices that you like. Some other good options include chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Be careful not to overcook the pecans: Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are heated through and fragrant.

Let the pecans cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up and will prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These spicy toasted pecans are a delicious and versatile snack. They can be enjoyed on their own, or they can be used to add flavor and crunch to salads, yogurt, oatmeal, and other dishes. They are also a great gift for friends and family.
