Baked Cinnamon Pecans

Baked Cinnamon Pecans. Spicy pecans baked in an oven. Cayenne pepper gives them a little kick, making the nuts a fun party starter!

Please note, that good pecans should be crunchy and have a rich golden or amber color. Signs that pecans are bad are a stinky smell, a shriveled look, or a soft and rubbery feel.

Do I Have to Soak Pecans Before Roasting?

Well, soaking pecans in water helps the salt stay on them. It also makes digestion easier and helps our bodies get more nutrition from the nuts. Before you bake pecans, put them in water for a few minutes while the oven is preheating.

Are Pecans Healthy?

Absolutely! They are more than just tasty – they’re packed with antioxidants and Vitamin E. Plus, they’ve been sprinkled with cinnamon, adding a delicious mix of sweet and spicy. Perfect for holiday gifts, but don’t forget to get some for yourself!

What is the Best Temperature to Roast Pecans?

You can use your oven to make tasty toasted pecans! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put the pecans on a baking sheet and spread them out evenly.

Bake them for 7 to 10 minutes, tossing them halfway through. When they are brown and smell good, take them out and let them cool. Yum!
