  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and Tabasco sauce until well combined.
  3. Add the pecans to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
  4. Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until pecans are fragrant and toasted, being careful not to burn.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack or paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  7. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
