Photo: Sweet and Spiced Pecans Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dark agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups pecans
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the agave, pepper, salt, allspice and sugar. Add the pecans, tossing to coat well. Spread the pecans in a shallow baking pan and bake in the middle of the oven 15 to 18 minutes. Stir and bake 7 minutes more. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper and let cool. When cool enough to handle, break apart the pecans.
What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: The sweetness of the agave and the strong pepper taste makes this a perfect cocktail nut. These also freeze beautifully. Make a double batch and when people just pop over you have a hidden treasure in the freezer for them.

If I could give a no star rating I would. I ended up with a big burnt smoking pan of expensive garbage.

I only wish I'd made a double batch! I consider this a great base recipe that people can adjust to taste. For me, the salt was fine, and even though I cut the pepper to 1.25 tsp, I may cut back to a shy tsp next time and may increase sugar and allspice -- or try a bit of cinnamon. Looking forward to experimenting. Only "complaint" is they ARE addictive! I may have to store them on a high shelf behind some other stuff so they're not so easy to grab! :D
