Easy Spicy Cajun Pecans Recipe

These Cajun roasted pecans are seasoned with a blend of spices and roasted to perfection, resulting in a crunchy and savory snack. The recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 2 cups of spiced pecans.

Ingredients

2 cups pecan halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional for sweetness)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Pecans: In a mixing bowl, combine the pecan halves with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar (if using). Toss until the pecans are evenly coated.
Roast the Pecans: Spread the seasoned pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Serve as a snack or store in an airtight container for later.
