Ingredients

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, curry powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl and pour the spiced butter mixture over them. Toss the pecans gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are toasted and fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.

Step 6

Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or a topping on salads, desserts, or oatmeal!
