A delightful snack of pecans coated in a spicy Cajun glaze, perfect for gatherings or as a treat.
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully liquefied.
Microwave in short intervals to avoid overheating the butter.
Stir the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning into the melted butter until well combined.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to match your spice preference.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
Ensure all pecans are well coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the pecans in a single layer for even baking.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Stirring prevents the pecans from sticking and ensures even toasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Cooling allows the glaze to set and the pecans to crisp up.
