Roasted Pecans Are Easy To Make
Simple ingredients that are quick to assemble is 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 right now.
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!
If there isn’t enough heat to suit you after these pecans are roasted, you can always add more Cajun seasoning.
