Recipe for Sweet and Spicy Roasted Pecans
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- *4 cups raw pecans for optimal digestion, it is best to soak the nuts for 2-6 hours before proceeding with the rest of the recipe...soak them in a bowl full of water along with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt
- *2 tablespoons organic sugar
- *1 teaspoon organic cocoa powder
- *1/2-1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder I used 1/2 teaspoon because I was afraid they'd otherwise be too spicy for my kids...I think I'll add more next time
- *1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- *1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- *1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- *2 tablespoons organic butter melted
- *coarse sea salt- to taste
Instructions
- 1. If you soaked the nuts, go ahead and drain them and pat dry. If not, just proceed with the rest of the recipe.
- 2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Mix sugar through smoked paprika in a small bowl.
- 3. Spread the pecans out onto a sheet pan. Roast in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until they start to get crunchy and aromatic. Remove from the oven, and carefully transfer the pecans to a large bowl.
- 4. Pour the melted butter over the pecans. Mix well. Add the spiced sugar mixture and mix again, so that all of the pecans are coated.
- 5. Pour the coated pecans back onto the sheet pan and roast for another 3-5 minutes. Watch that they do not burn. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste before serving.
