Roasted Buttery Pecans

1 lb. pecan halves, about 4 heaping cups

4 tablespoon butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat 

oven to 350 degrees. Toss pecans with 

melted butter and scatter in a 13-by-9-inch 

baking pan.  Toast, stirring once or twice, 

until fragrant and deep golden brown, about 

15 minutes. 


Mix salt and sugar in a medium bowl, add hot 

pecans, and toss to coat evenly. Return pecans 

to baking pan and continue to toast to melt 

sugar, about 3 minutes longer. Cool slightly 

before serving.
