SPICED PECANS

Categories     appetizer

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons egg white (1 extra-large egg)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups whole pecan halves (8 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with the cooking spray or brush it lightly with oil.
  • Place the egg white in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 15 seconds, until light and frothy. Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pecans and mix well, until thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture, including any liquid, onto the prepared pan and spread in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing twice with a metal spatula. Each time you toss the pecans, spread them out again in one layer. When they're done, sprinkle with fleur de sel and allow to cool completely; they will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.

Tips for Making Spicy Toasted Pecans

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweeter, more flavorful taste than older pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before coating them. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a variety of spices. The recipe in the article uses chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper, but you can use any spices that you like. Some other good options include paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're toasting the pecans, make sure to spread them out in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pan, the pecans will not toast evenly.
  • Watch the pecans closely. Pecans can burn easily, so it's important to watch them closely while they're toasting. Stir them frequently to ensure that they toast evenly.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. Once the pecans are toasted, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help them to stay fresh and crispy.

Conclusion

Spicy toasted pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for salads, yogurt, or oatmeal. They are also a great addition to trail mix or homemade granola. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own spicy toasted pecans at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give this recipe a try!
