Savory Roasted Pecans
Y'all know how much we like our 'Picy Pretzels, right? They're delicious any time of the year, but I love them most in front of a roaring fire with an adult drank.
To add a bit of nutrition to our by-the-fire snacks, I tinkered with a nut recipe and came up with Savory Roasted Pecans. Yum. Mix these in a bowl with the spicy pretzels and BAM! you have a party!
Savory Roasted Pecans
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon taco mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat over to 300°.
- Melt butter and add all ingredients, except pecan halves. Mix thoroughly.
- Add pecans and stir to coat.
- Pour nuts onto a jellyroll pan, making sure they are spread out in a single layer.
- Bake 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Simple and delish! A win-win combo. As an added bonus, these savory pecans make delightful hostess gifts, Christmas gifts, birthday gifts...ah, hell, anything/anytime gifts!
Happy roasting, y'all!
Hi! I stopped by because I am gathering recipe ideas for food gifts this year. I plan to make the roasted pecans (they look good and easy to make) BUT, once I followed the link to the 'picy pretzels...now I HAVE TO make them also! Thanks for sharing both recipes. Enjoyed the posts.
Beware: the pretzels are addicting! Happy eating!
I might be drooling just a little. These look amazing!!
Try them!
These look really tasty. I'm going to have to make them. Thanks for posting!

Will need to give these a try...they look wonderful!
Thanks, Marianna.
What a great recipe! Pecans are delicious any time of year, but especially at the holidays. Thanks so much for sharing this on Think Tank Thursday.
Happy to share, Jennifer.
Yum - sounds great and I happen to have a bag of pecans in the pantry.
Get to roasting!
Yum! I don't think I've every had spiced nuts that didn't have some sugar in the mix!
Mmmm, that reminds me to make some with sugar. 😉
