How to Make Cajun Spiced Pecans
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter.
- Add 2 cups (150g) of pecans to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin.
- Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar) and cook, stirring constantly, until all the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Season generously with salt to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon to start).
- Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until perfectly crisp, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
