How to Make Aisha's Chili Pecans Cajun

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes syrupy.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1-2 teaspoons of chili flakes. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 cups of pecan halves until they are evenly coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the pecan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a fork or spoon, gently separate the pecans to prevent sticking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pecans are dry, crispy, and evenly browned. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
