Ingredients

1. 2 cups pecan halves
2. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3. 1/4 cup falafel mix
4. 1 tablespoon sugar
5. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, toss the pecans with the melted butter until evenly coated. In a small bowl, combine the falafel mix with the sugar and cayenne. Pour the spice mix over the pecans and toss to coat. Spread the spiced nuts on a lightly greased baking sheet and toast for about 9 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden. Let cool.

Make Ahead

The pecans can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

Add the cayenne pepper to the spice mixture a tiny pinch at a time. Dip a buttered pecan in the mixture after each pinch and taste, then proceed with the recipe when you've reached your preferred level of heat.
