This is a recipe that I borrowed from a great friend and chef, Chef James. This recipe is easy and the pecans come out delicious. They have a slight sweetness from the honey, a salty, nutty flavor from the butter and of course the spicy cayenne kick. These are fantastic in salads or just by the handful.

Ingredients

pecans↗4 cups
toasted
butter↗8 tablespoons
1/2 of a stick
honey↗1⁄3 - 1⁄2 cup
depending on your sweet-tooth
water↗1 tablespoon
cayenne↗1⁄2 - 1 tablespoon
depending on your heat level
salt↗1 teaspoon
pepper↗1 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

1
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
2
To toast the pecans, place evenly on a cookie sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees, checking often. They will burn quickly!
3
In a 4-quart saucepan, place all ingredients, except pecans, and heat until mixture reaches 250 degrees. Turn off heat and add pecans to saucepan and mix well.
4
Spread coated pecans evenly on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Check the pecans midway during cooking, give them a mix using a spatula, spread evenly on cookie sheet and continue cooking.
5
Cool and enjoy.
