Sweet Heat Pecans

 

After trying more spiced pecan recipes than I can count, this is the one. These pecans have just the right balance of sweet, salty, and a little heat. They are perfect with cocktails, on a cheese board, or simply by the handful.

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons of honey

2 Tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce

2 cups pecan halves

3 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325.

Cover a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

In a small sauce pan combine the honey and Sriracha and warm over medium-low heat until liquefied and well mixed.

Remove from the heat and stir in the pecan. Stir well with a wooden spoon until pecans are coated and there is no more honey and Sriracha mixture.  

Stir pecan mixture on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes.

While the pecans are baking, combine the sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl.

When the pecans are done, scrape them into the sugar/salt bowl. Stir gently until the pecans are completely coated.

Spread on foil and let cool.

Store in a airtight container.
