Simple Ingredients

There's nothing better than a healthy snack when you're running out of steam in the middle of the day. These Cajun Roasted Pecans are just right for such an occasion. They are gluten-free, low-carb, full of protein, and packed with taste.

Ingredients of butter, pecans, Cajun seasoning and others.
  • Salted butter, melted
  • Cajun Seasoning like Pink Cajun Seasoning Blend
  • Worchestershire Sauce
  • Liquid Concentrate Shrimp and Crab Boil
  • Raw pecan halves

All you need are raw pecans, salted butter, some Cajun seasoning like my Pink Cajun Seasoning Blend, Worcestershire sauce, and a dose of liquid Concentrated Shrimp and Crab Boil.

Yes, that's right! Shrimp and crab boil puts these Cajun Roasted Pecans over the top! After using this liquid seasoning, you'll discover a whole new way to incorporate more of that Cajun flavor into your foods. Go ahead and get adventurous, adding this golden sauce to corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese, gumbos, stews, gravy, and whatever your heart desires. Just a little at first 'cause this bottle packs a punch!

Oh, and about my Pink Cajun Seasoning Blend. It combines Himalayan pink salt with other seasonings that add a burst of spicy Louisiana flavor to food. It's rich in taste, doesn't overpower the taste of your food, and is a cinch to make with items you probably already have on hand. Or, you can use your own favorite Cajun seasoning.

Instructions

Simple ingredients that are quick to assemble are my kind of cooking. With that said, there is no excuse to not roast these nuts. Especially since they're a healthy alternative to the snacks, you may have in your kitchen.

Tossing roasted pecans with tongs.

All there is to do is melt the butter, add the seasonings and flavorings, toss in the nuts, and mix together. Then, roast them on a cookie sheet in a single layer for about 10 minutes, and there you have it! A tasty snack or a delicious substitution for croutons in your favorite salad. And what about adding them to a casserole or vegetable dish? That'll work, too!

You can always add more Cajun seasoning if there isn't enough heat to suit you after these pecans are roasted.

You do what you gotta do!

Sprinkling a spoonful of Cajun seasoning onto nuts.

And If you are not in the mood for spicy foods, try this classic recipe for Buttery-Salted Roasted Pecans. A delicious, healthy treat! I try to keep them in our pantry all the time.

    I was searching for something different to take to a work party. These turned out fantastic. My husband and I couldn't quit eating them. I ended up making 12 cups worth so we could each take some to work and have some left for ourselves.
