Spiced Pecans

• servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

4 cups (1 pound) pecan halves

1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Step 2

Place 4 cups pecan halves in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne. Pour the butter mixture over the pecans and stir until well combined. Taste a pecan and add more Tabasco or cayenne if desired.

Arrange the pecans on a large sheet pan and bake for 20-22 minutes until toasted and lightly browned, stirring halfway cooking time to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and cool completely, tossing occasionally, before transferring to an airtight container.
