Sweet and Spicy Pecans

 

 Notes:  Just spicy enough!

 Ingredients:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tsp water
2 cups whole pecans

Directions:
 
Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar, salt and cayenne.

Add the pecans to the sugar mixture, along with the 4 teaspoons of water. Stir until sugar is dissolved into a sticky glaze and the nuts are evenly coated.  If the mixture is still too powdery add a few drops of water - just don't add too much.

Transfer pecans to the baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Scrape every last bit of glaze from the bowl and drizzle onto the nuts. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the pecans are crusty on top and caramelized and golden on the bottom.

Immediately slide the parchment off the baking sheet and cool completely on the counter top. Once cool, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Do not freeze.
