Chef Jamie's Maple Roasted Pecans

Chef Jamie says: These spiced nuts are irresistible any time of the year but especially ideal for holiday entertaining.

 

Prep Time: 15 minutes. Cook Time:  15 minutes
Ingredients:

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Spread the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake them until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.  

Toss the nuts once during baking for even color.

Combine the maple syrup and the corn syrup in a pot large enough to hold the nuts.  

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the toasted pecans.  

Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the nuts have absorbed most of the syrup, about 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt and Chef Jamie's Brown Sugar & Cracked Pepper Spice Rub.  

Add the nuts and toss to coat.  Pour the nuts onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat, to cool.  

Store the nuts in an airtight container until ready to serve.
