Nut and Seed Recipes
Butter Roasted Pecans
Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Toss pecans in melted butter to coat evenly (or melt butter in a skillet, and toss pecans in melted butter that way).
- Spread nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Notes
To make these less buttery (on your fingers) toss the hot roasted nuts, as soon as you remove them from the oven, in a brown paper bag - along with the seasonings. Then serve in a warm dish.
