Nut Recipe Crispy


Crispy Pecans Recipe

 

Each fall when it is the pecan harvesting season I find myself refining the crispy pecan recipe. The one I now use and recommend is much easier to do and has better results than those listed in past years. This recipe also works with other nuts (we sometimes make almonds this way), but pecans are hard to beat.

 


Season the nuts prior to roasting

 


For the best outcome use good quality ingredients

 

Ingredients:

 

•    4 cups of pecan halves
•    3 Tbs butter
•    3 Tbs Worcestershire-type sauce. My favorite is Organic Coco Aminos
•    1 tsp sea salt
•    1 tsp powdered cinnamon
•    ¼ tsp garlic powder
•    ¼ tsp cayenne powder
•    Dash of Tabasco (optional)

 


A favorite ingredient in the pecan seasoning is the Coco Aminos Marinade.

 

Instructions:

 

•    Melt butter in a heavy skillet
•    Add the amendments and stir in thoroughly
•    Add pecans and stir thoroughly
•    Spread nuts on a stainless steel baking sheet or tray
•    Coating the sheet with butter or other oil is unnecessary.
•    Turning the pecans occasionally is helpful
•    Bake in oven at 150 - 170 degrees for 4-5 hours (+ or –) till pecans are crispy
