    Spiced pecans Cooking Tips:

    Most spiced pecans recipes call for egg whites to help the spices coat the pecans. This recipe is much simpler. Feel free to use whole pecans, halved or chopped.

    Can you make ahead?

    Freezer: After pecans cool off, place in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 months max. Thaw 12 hours before using.

    Fridge: After pecans cool off, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.
