Low Carb 5 Minute Sweet Spiced Pecans
- Ready In:
- 6mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne or 1/4 teaspoon other hot pepper
- 3 teaspoons Splenda granular (artificial sweetener equal to about 3 t sugar)
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
directions
- Use a large skillet. The pecans should be more or less in one layer. Nonstick works well.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and add the hot pepper.
- If you are using liquid artificial sweetener, add it now.
- Add pecans to skillet and cook over medium heat.
- Stir every 30 seconds.
- After 2 or 3 minutes, stir them pretty much constantly until they just begin to brown.
- Pecans burn quickly, so you do have to keep your eyes on them.
- If the butter starts smoking before this point, kill the heat and call them done.
- Stir in cinnamon, salt, and powdered sweetener if you're using it.
- Remove from pan to bowl (pecans can still burn sitting in the hot pan).
- When they are cool enough to taste, adjust seasonings if you want more salt or sweetener.

Fast, easy, and delicious Made these up exactly as the recipe called for except, instead of using artificial sweetner I used the 3 tbls sugar. Thought gee only 1/4 tsp cayanne not gonna be very spicy at all, but the perfect mix of seasonings and just the perfect amount of BAM. Took some over to neighbors, they agree, these are company food for sure.
