By cindyandmojo

A medley of warm spices tempered with a touch of brown sugar is a great match for rich, nutritious pecans. They make a perfect nibble with a drink before dinner or afterward with a cup of espresso.

Ingredients

• 1.5 tablespoon(s) chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon(s) ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon(s) paprika
• 1 teaspoon(s) brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
• 2 cup(s) pecan halves
• 1.5 tablespoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, brown sugar and garlic powder in a small bowl. Toss pecans and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pecans, tossing to coat. Spread the spiced nuts on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the pecans, tossing every 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned and very fragrant, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; sprinkle with salt and toss well. Let cool.
