ROSEMARY ROASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a single layer, place the pecans on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes (I use 2 baking sheets to keep the pecans in single layer).
• Once they have baked for 30 minutes, remove the pecans from the oven and add the 1/3 cup melted butter to the pecans, mixing well.
• Return the pecans to the oven for another 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven again and add the salt and the other 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Stir the pecans well and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix the rosemary, cayenne and brown sugar.
• Remove the pecans from the oven and toss the pecans lightly with the rosemary and sugar mixture, while they are still warm. (I used a large Ziploc bag and shake the mixtures together).
• Serve warm.

Add pecans, rosemary, salt and chili powder; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until syrup thickens and nuts are coated, stirring constantly. Spread pecans in single layer in pan.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until pecans are toasted, stirring after 8 minutes. Immediately separate pecans with fork. Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes.
