Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, chipotle chili powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until fully combined.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the saucepan and toss them gently but thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is some space between each pecan to prevent clumping.
Step 5
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring them halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the Honey Chipotle Pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
