Yield 3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 lbs pecan halves
1/3 cup butter, melted, plus
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or more to your preference and taste)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a single layer, place the pecans on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes (I use 2 baking sheets to keep the pecans in single layer).
Once they have baked for 30 minutes, remove the pecans from the oven and add the 1/3 cup melted butter to the pecans, mixing well.
Return the pecans to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven again and add the salt and the other 2 tablespoons of butter.
Stir the pecans well and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rosemary, cayenne and brown sugar.
Remove the pecans from the oven and toss the pecans lightly with the rosemary and sugar mixture, while they are still warm. (I used a large Ziploc bag and shake the mixtures together).
Serve warm.

ROASTED PECANS WITH ROSEMARY AND SPICE

Categories Nut Appetizer Bake

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/2 T sugar
2 T fresh rosemary, chopped fine
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (or more!)
2 C whole pecan halves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Line cookie pan with foil, coat with thin layer of oil (olive or vegetable). Whisk egg white in medium bowl until foamy. Add sugar, whisk again. Whisk in rosemary, salt and cayenne pepper. Pour into bag with nuts and toss until coated evenly. Spread nuts on the baking sheet, in a single layer. Bake until brown (about 15 minutes), stirring nuts after 8 minutes. Remove from oven and salt lightly, spoon nuts onto bread board to cool. The secret to the best nuts is to allow the outer edge to go to brown/black, partially carbonized. Personally I like the crispy ones!

Tips:

Choose fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary sprigs will provide the best flavor for your roasted pecans. If you don't have fresh rosemary on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When roasting the pecans, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them roast evenly and prevent them from steaming.
Roast the pecans until they are fragrant and golden brown: The pecans are done roasting when they are fragrant and golden brown. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.
Let the pecans cool before serving: Once the pecans are done roasting, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to crisp up.
Store the pecans in an airtight container: Roasted pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Rosemary roasted pecans are a delicious and versatile snack or addition to your favorite recipes. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, yogurt, or trail mix, or used as a garnish for soups and stews. With their sweet and savory flavor, rosemary roasted pecans are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
