- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

- Add the pecans to the bowl and toss them in the spicy sugar mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This will ensure they roast evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pecans are golden brown. Be sure to stir them halfway through to avoid burning.
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the sheet. They will become crispy as they cool.
