Ingredients

Butter (for the pan)
1 pound unsalted pecans
3 T melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 T brown sugar
3/4 t salt
1/2 t cayenne pepper

Set the oven at 375. Lightly butter a rimmed baking dish. In a bowl, toss the pecans with the melted butter, maple syrup, sugar,salt, adn cayenne. Transfer the nuts to the baking sheet. Bake, tossing often, for 10-12 minutes, until browned and fragrant. Cool on the baking sheet.

Tips:

Use fresh pecans for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pecans, you can use frozen or roasted pecans, but the flavor will not be as good.
Toast the pecans before glazing them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
Use a good quality maple syrup. The better the maple syrup, the better the glaze will taste.
Don't overcook the glaze. It should be thick and syrupy, but not too hard.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
