Rosemary Spiced Pecans
These rosemary spiced pecans make an indulgent, addictive snack that is fast and easy to make! They'll be a special homemade hit with your friends and family.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) salted vegan butter
- 4 tablespoons (54 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, preferably fine rather than coarse
- 2 cups (228 g) raw pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300° F (150° C). Set the oven rack to the middle position. Place a sheet of parchment paper or silicone liner on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Melt the butter. Add it to a medium bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the pecans. Stir together until well combined.
- Add the pecans to the bowl, and stir until all of the pecans are evenly coated with the mixture. With a spatula, press the mixture well into the crevices of the pecans. This will really give each bite a consistent burst of flavor. Place the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the pecans for 10 minutes. Stir and bake until fragrant and browned, about 10-15 more minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven. Give the pecans a final toss with a spatula to reincorporate any of the spice mixture that may have melted onto the baking parchment. Let cool for about 30 minutes or as needed. Enjoy!
Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of additional salt to the spice mixture, according to taste.
- Make sure your pecans are fresh before starting.
- After stirring once after about 10 minutes, check regularly to ensure pecans don't overcook.
