Ingredients
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups pecan halves
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chili powder, cumin, allspice, cayenne, cinnamon, and paprika. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the sugar and soy sauce. Stir to melt and then stir in the spices.
- Add the pecans and toss to coat them in the spiced butter. Cook and toss until the butter is absorbed into the nuts, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread on a rimmed sheet pan and bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasted and the coating is caramelized, 15 minutes. Let cool slightly on the sheet pan and serve warm.
