How to Make Chai Spiced Pecans
This recipe is super simple to make! The full instructions are in the printable recipe card below but here is a brief overview.
- Toast the pecans. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine the oil and syrup. Once hot, stir in spices and seasonings. Mix in toasted pecans.
- Transfer to baking sheet and bake.
For my oven, I found that 350 was the best temperature to roast pecans. If your oven runs a little hot, reduce the temperature a little bit to avoid burning.
As soon as the first fall breeze starts to blow, I make a trip to the store to get all the supplies I need to make these spiced pecans. They taste like a little handful of fall in your mouth.
