Ingredients for Arkansas Hot Pepper Pecans

  • 1 pound pecans
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Tabasco Sauce

How to Make Arkansas Hot Pepper Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Spread 1 pound of pecans evenly in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle pecans with 1/4 cup melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1-2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  6. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the warm pecans and toss gently to combine.
  7. Let the pecans stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. During this time, the pecans will continue to crisp up.
  8. Drain any excess sauce on paper towels.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
