Ingredients

  • 1 lb pecan halves or 1 lb pecan pieces (4 cups)
  • 14 cup Splenda sugar substitute, for Baking or 14 cup granulated sugar
  • 12-1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 14-12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 -3 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 12-34 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 14-12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 -3 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute, for baking

Method

  • ***NOTE: "Splenda for Baking" is measured spoon for spoon like sugar, but contains less than 1 carb per tsp.
  • It is not the Splenda in little packets.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place pecans in single layer on baking sheet.
  • Roast 15-17 minutes or until lightly golden brown and slightly crunchy.
  • In large bowl, add the Dry Coating mix (Splenda)
  • Set aside.
  • About 5 minutes before pecans are done, in a saucepan add ALL Seasoning Mix ingredients and bring just to boil.
  • It may not seem like enough sauce; however, it should be enough to coat the outside of all the nuts.
  • Immediately add hot nuts and stir continuously until all liquid has been absorbed and no liquid remains on bottom on saucepan.
  • This will take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour nuts into Dry Coating mix bowl and stir to coat nuts.
  • Pour nuts onto a Silpat silicone mat, parchment or waxed paper, separating nuts.
  • Cool.
  • Store in air-tight container.
  • Would keep for weeks, but they won't last that long.
  • VARIATION: Mix these nuts with craisins (or raisins), butterscotch chips, and mini-pretzels for a delicious Bar Mix appetizer.
