Candied Pecans

This recipe is perfect for adding something sweet and crunchy to a salad. I put it on my apple, kale, and goat cheese salad and it was delicious! So easy to make too. I love the sweet yet spicy kick the cinnamon and red pepper flakes give the pecans.

1/2 tablespoon butter

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

pinch of allspice

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup pecan halves

Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in cinnamon, allspice, pepper, sugar and pecans. Toast pecans for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the sugar has melted and the pecans are lightly toasted. Spread on wax paper to cool.


The pecans can be added to salads, desert, or eaten as a snack!
