Ingredients
-
2 cups pecan halves
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
-
¼ cup falafel mix
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, toss the pecans with the melted butter until evenly coated. In a small bowl, combine the falafel mix with the sugar and cayenne. Pour the spice mix over the pecans and toss to coat. Spread the spiced nuts on a lightly greased baking sheet and toast for about 9 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden. Let cool.
Make Ahead
The pecans can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
Add the cayenne pepper to the spice mixture a tiny pinch at a time. Dip a buttered pecan in the mixture after each pinch and taste, then proceed with the recipe when you've reached your preferred level of heat.
