Salty Pecans Recipes

HOT AND SALTY SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir cumin and cayenne pepper into the butter until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir pecans, sucralose sweetener, and salt into the butter mixture to coat the nuts completely. Spread coated nuts onto a baking sheet.
• Bake pecans in preheated oven until lightly browned, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes.

SWEET AND SALTY PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Stir together sugar, cream, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add pecans, and stir until well coated. Spread pecans on baking sheet in an even layer.
• Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until browned and toasted, 20 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle pecans with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool.

TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Pour the butter into a medium bowl, and mix in the pecans. Stir until the pecans are well coated.
• Arrange coated pecans in a single layer on one or two medium baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cool and store in covered containers.

SEA SALT-ROASTED PECANS

• Bake until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, about 15 minutes. Cool pecans on baking sheet.

SALTY PECANS

• Melt butter to cover the bottom of the pan - about 1/2 stick or + for a pound of pecan halves.
• Sprinkle garlic salt on butter.
• Sprinkle sea salt (or regular) on butter.
• Pour in 1 lb pecan halves.
• Stir.
• Sprinkle a little more salt.
• Bake 250 degrees for about 45 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times.
• Pour on newspaper to drain.

SALTY-SWEET BUTTER PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
• Place the pecans in a single layer in a pan, and toast till they've darkened a bit and smell toasty, about 8 to 9 minutes. Set them aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the sugars, butter, shortening, salt, espresso powder, baking soda, vanilla, flavor, and vinegar, beating until smooth and creamy.
• Beat in the egg, again beating till smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
• Mix in the flour, then the chips and toasted nuts.
• If you're going to refrigerate the dough, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for about 4 to 5 hours; or overnight. Cookie dough refrigerated for 3 1/2 to 4 hours will spread moderately; chilled overnight, it will spread much less.
• Mix the 1/3 cup sugar and salt for the coating, and put it in a bowl. To bake cookies immediately (without refrigeration), use a spoon (or a tablespoon cookie scoop) to scoop 1 1/2" balls of dough into the sugar/salt mixture, rolling to coat. Then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2" between them on all sides; they'll spread quite a bit. Or use a teaspoon cookie scoop to scoop 1 1/4" balls of dough.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes - 11 minutes for smaller cookies, 12 for larger ones. Their edges will be chestnut brown and their tops a lighter golden brown. (For dough that's been refrigerated, add 30 seconds to 1 minute to those baking times.) Remove them from the oven, and cool on the pan till they've set enough to move without breaking. Repeat with the remaining dough.
