Hot and Spicy Pecans are an awesome snack nut recipe.
Hot and Spicy Pecans
I love these pecans! They’re good snackers for munching at parties or during football games. Besides general munching, Hot and Spicy Pecans are also good to add to salads. They add a good punch of flavor- especially to a salad that has some sweet flavor in it like raisins or dried cranberries.
🛒 Ingredients Needed:
- butter
- Worcestershire sauce
- ground cayenne pepper
- garlic powder
- salt
- pecan halves
- chili powder
✏️ How to make Hot and Spicy Pecans:
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place rack on a lower level.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt. Stir in the pecans and gently toss with the chili powder to coat. Spread the coated pecans on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool and store in a covered container.
These Hot and Spicy Pecans do live up to their name… hot and spicy pecans… the heat creeps in slowly as you keep eating them.
Consider making these pecans to give as a great hostess gift during the holidays! You can also make them and keep them in a jar to use when you have a need for them. I like to store them in the freezer so they’ll stay fresher. Then I just take them out when I want to toss them in my salads or when I want to add them to a charcuterie platter.
Try making some of your own spiced pecans- they’re so good. Enjoy!

My favorite nut mix to make and it’s a huge crowd pleaser!
I make these nuts monthly and they are a huge hit and last only a few days. Sooo good
I don’t know when I have been so disappointed in a recipe. There is NO hot and spicy, just bland. Unfortunately I made two batches without tasting and wasted the pecans. I would not recommend these at all.
