Rosemary Spiced Pecans

With a balance of salty, sweet and buttery herb…and a little kick of cayenne, it’s all you crave in a snack wrapped up in a handful of pecans.

Why try? Many spiced nut recipes have you combine sugary ingredients and then bake, resulting in a sticky mess, but here, you can simply toss the components together and have on hand for a snack or a party.

Foodie Byte: Fresh rosemary is used here because it imparts a woodsy intensity to the pecans that balances out the spice and sweetness. Still, if you don’t like rosemary, most fresh herbs can be substituted for a different flavor.
