Spicy Pecans

This recipe is similar to one my mother-in-law makes for the holidays.  They are so yummy that they may not make it until Christmas!  Merry Christmas!

Ingredients

4 cups raw whole pecans

1 egg white

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon red curry paste (Thai)

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  In a large bowl, whisk the egg white.  Then whisk in maple syrup, sea salt, red pepper flakes, chili powder, cayenne pepper and red curry paste.  Add the nuts and stir so that pecans are evenly coated.

2.  Spread pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Let cool.  Store in a sealed container in a cool place.
