Tips:
- Choose the right nuts: Pecans are the classic choice for this recipe, but you can also use walnuts, almonds, or cashews.
- Use fresh spices: Ground spices will work in a pinch, but freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon will give your pecans a more intense flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the pecans, spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Watch the pecans closely: They can go from perfectly roasted to burnt in a matter of minutes, so keep an eye on them while they're cooking.
- Let the pecans cool completely: Before storing or serving the pecans, let them cool completely so that the sugar coating hardens.
