The hint of spice, paired with the sweet candied pecan and a touch of smokiness, is utterly delicious.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ancho chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups pecans (Note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. This will help keep the pecans from sticking.
- Combine all the ingredients except the pecans in a medium bowl that is microwave-safe. Stir.
- Add the pecans to the bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave again for 30 seconds. This will help coat the pecans evenly.
- Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan, stir the pecans, and bake again for another 5 minutes. The pecans should be a deep golden brown. However, they will quickly turn burnt. Watch them carefully, and don’t walk away.
- Store the cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Note 1: Only use pure maple syrup. Do not use imitation maple syrup, which can contain high fructose corn syrup.
Note 2: Either pecan halves or chopped pecans can be used.
How to use pecans: as a snack, salad topping, or as a topping for sweet potatoes.
