Hill Country Spiced Pecans | Spicy Pecans Recipe

Hill Country Spiced Pecans

Inspired by my Texas roots, these classic spiced pecans get their slight kick from our Hill Country Chili Powder. Perfectly balanced with a hint of sweet brown sugar and dried herbs, this 'Texas sized' snack will leave you wanting more! Best of all these are a healthy nut alternative to those sugary holiday nuts.

To release the oils and aroma of the dried herbs, lightly crush them with the back of a spoon or with a mortar and pestle before adding to the pecans.
