  • Roast the pecans before using them. Roasting the pecans will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy. To roast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices that you use in your sugar and spice pecans will determine the flavor of the finished product. You can use a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook the pecans until they are just coated with the sugar and spice mixture and still have a slight crunch.
