Report
These Savory Spiced Pecans are a family tradition we whip up every Christmas and holiday season! They have the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors, thanks to a quick toss in butter, maple syrup, and Cajun seasoning.

Ingredients
- 1 pound pecans raw
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Whisk together the melted butter, syrup, and seasonings in a large bowl. Add pecans and toss until well coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pecans out in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the nuts are toasted and aromatic.
- Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Temperature: The low temp is what gives the nuts that perfect texture.
- Spices: You can easily sub the spice blend.
- Storage: Keep the spiced pecans in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. You can use a plastic storage container or Christmas tin. You can also refrigerate them to extend the shelf life up to 3-4 weeks. However, the taste and texture will be slightly affected if refrigerated.
- Freezing: You can freeze these pecans for up to 3 to 6 months, but the texture won't be the same upon thawing.
