Ingredients
1. Pecans
The star of this recipe is, of course, the pecans. These buttery and nutty nuts are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. They are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making them a guilt-free indulgence during the holiday season.
2. Spices
To give these pecans their signature holiday flavor, we'll need a combination of warm and aromatic spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are essential for that cozy and comforting taste. You can also add a pinch of allspice or ginger for an extra kick of flavor.
3. Sugar
A touch of sweetness is necessary to balance out the spices and give these pecans a caramelized coating. We'll be using brown sugar for its rich and molasses-like flavor. You can also substitute with honey or maple syrup for a healthier alternative.
Instructions
1. Toast the Pecans
Start by toasting the pecans in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they are fragrant and lightly browned. This step will enhance their flavor and give them a nice crunch.
2. Mix the Spices and Sugar
In a separate bowl, mix together the spices and sugar. Make sure to evenly distribute the spices to ensure every pecan is coated with flavor.
3. Coat the Pecans
Add the toasted pecans to the spice and sugar mixture and toss until they are well coated. You can also add a tablespoon of melted butter for a richer taste and to help the spices stick to the pecans.
4. Bake and Cool
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let them cool completely before serving or packaging them as gifts.
Enjoy the Festive Flavor of Holiday Spiced Pecans
These holiday spiced pecans are the perfect snack to have on hand during the holiday season. They are also a great addition to salads, oatmeal, or as a topping for desserts. So go ahead and make a big batch of these delicious nuts and spread the holiday cheer with every bite.
