Irresistible Spicy Glazed Pecans Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 15x10x1-inch baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cayenne pepper over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and gently fold in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated as the sugar mixture thickens. Transfer the coated pecans to the prepared baking pan, spreading them in a single layer.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the pecans turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Allow the nuts to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer them to a resealable plastic bag and gently toss to remove any excess glaze. Serve these delicious pecans warm or store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
