Spicy Glazed Pecans

Ingredients

• 0.25 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

2. 2

   Combine sugar, water, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat; stir. Bring to a boil; boil 2 minutes. Off heat, gently stir in pecans until evenly coated and sugar mixture begins to thicken. Transfer pecans to the prepared baking pan; spread until even.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes. Cool nuts. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; gently toss to remove any excess glaze. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
