Description

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon dried ground orange peel
• 1 pound pecan halves (about 4 cups)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside. Place the nuts in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring nearly constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes until they start to brown and smell like they are toasting. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the spices and stir until combined. Add sugar and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the nuts to the prepared pan and separate them with a fork. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
