- 1 lb pecan halves
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg

- 1 cup powdered sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 250°F Place pecans into a large wide bowl. Set aside.
- Add spices to melted butter in a small bowl and stir. Pour over pecans, tossing gently to coat. Spread pecans evenly in a single layer onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.

- Shake off excess sugar and place into a decorative serving dish (covered if not eating right away).

These are very yummy! I made a very small batch; just 1 cup pecans, a sprinkling each of nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon. I used 1 1/2 tbsp Smart Balance with Flaxseed Oil spread for the butter. I microwaved the Smart Balance for 15 secs and stirred in the seasonings, then tossed the pecans in. I sprayed a piece of foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray and cooked for 13 mins. I used 1 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar and coated them in a quart Ziploc baggie. Next time I'll use a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg, as those flavors didn't come through enough for me. But these tasted great and I'm glad they cooled off so fast because I couldn't wait to try them. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game. Thanks so much for sharing, I will make these again for sure, and most likely a full batch to share at gatherings. :)
