Description

This homemade snack uses butter, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and Splenda® to deliver a spicy, sweet, and salty pecan treat.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups pecan halves
2 tablespoons granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir cumin and cayenne pepper into the butter until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir pecans, sucralose sweetener, and salt into the butter mixture to coat the nuts completely. Spread coated nuts onto a baking sheet.
3 Bake pecans in preheated oven until lightly browned, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes.
