Buttered Pecans with Brown Sugar, Rosemary, and Cayenne
Buttered Pecans with Brown Sugar, Rosemary, and Cayenne are the perfect party snack or happy hour nibble, with a rich, oven-roasted flavor!
Equipment
- half sheet pan
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter (salted)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon rosemary (finely chopped)
- 4 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter using the microwave or stovetop. Add the brown sugar, cayenne, salt, rosemary, and pecans to the butter and stir well to coat the pecans evenly.
- Spread the pecans out evenly on the sheet pan, making sure to get all of the coating out of the bowl and onto the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Stir the pecans well, moving ones from the edges to the center. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until deeply toasted (but not burned!).
- Remove the pan from the oven and stir the pecans again. Allow them to cool in the pan completely, stirring occasionally. They will continue to absorb the butter.
- Once cool, stir the pecans and breakup any clusters and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
