Peppered Pecans image

I like this roasted nut recipe because it doesn't use any added oil or butter - my husband likes this because it's nice and spicy! These have become a Thanksgiving tradition at our house, and make a tasty (albeit unusual) addition to salads, especially with the Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette from this site.

Time 35m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
⅛ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 pound pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a large heavy roasting pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and dried thyme in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, and liquid smoke flavoring and whisk to mix. Drop in pecans and stir to coat well. Pour coated pecans into a colander to drain off extra egg white mixture; return to bowl and add the pepper mixture. Stir well to coat each pecan with spices.
  • Spread pecans in prepared roasting pan. Roast in preheated oven for 5 minutes and stir pecans; roast an additional 5 minutes and stir again. Turn off heat and roast pecans an additional 5 to 10 minutes until pecans are lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and serve at room temperature.
