Low Carb 5 Minute Sweet Spiced Pecans Food

LOW CARB 5 MINUTE SWEET SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Use a large skillet. The pecans should be more or less in one layer. Nonstick works well.
• Melt the butter in the skillet and add the hot pepper.
• If you are using liquid artificial sweetener, add it now.
• Add pecans to skillet and cook over medium heat.
• Stir every 30 seconds.
• After 2 or 3 minutes, stir them pretty much constantly until they just begin to brown.
• Pecans burn quickly, so you do have to keep your eyes on them.
• If the butter starts smoking before this point, kill the heat and call them done.
• Stir in cinnamon, salt, and powdered sweetener if you're using it.
• Remove from pan to bowl (pecans can still burn sitting in the hot pan).
• When they are cool enough to taste, adjust seasonings if you want more salt or sweetener.
