Sweet and Spicy Pecans

Zola on

This is a ZReboot recipe. These are absolutely addicting and can be made with any nuts you choose. Guests at a dinner party just snarfed them up and asked for more! Love that!

I am not even going to give you quantities for this recipe. It’s so easy you just dust each ingredient over the nuts and roast. It all depends on your taste and how many nuts you want to make in one batch. I normally spread a couple of cups of nuts across the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan. That gives you enough for a small party or a few days of snacking.

Yield: Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients:

Pecans
Chili powder (You can use smoked or regular. Your choice)
Cinnamon
ZSweet or Swerve granular sweetener. This stuff is new and works great in things you heat in the oven. Truvia works sometimes but other times it gives off a tin taste when it’s been heated. So this is worth the effort to order it on line. I have never seen it in a store – not yet anyway.
Cayenne. I put about twice as much cayenne as the other things. I like the zippy to balance off the sweet. You can decide if you want to go that far.

Instructions:

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees or 375 convection.

Spray the 9-by-13-inch pan with olive oil spray. Then add the nuts. Spray the nuts lightly with olive oil spray.

Then dust on chili powder, cinnamon, sweetener and cayenne. Roast 12 to 14 minutes. Depends on your oven. You want the nuts to crisp up. I cook mine just until I start to see darkening on the edges or tops of a few nuts.

Then let start to cool. You can serve warm or room temp.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
