Ingredients

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.

Step 4

Stir the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the butter and spice mixture over the pecans in the bowl. Toss the pecans thoroughly to coat them evenly with the mixture.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned pecans out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the pecans are golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.

Step 9

Store the cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
