These savory and spicy pecans are a yummy treat that is perfect for charcuterie boards, snacks, and gift-giving! They are a family favorite! 

Savory & Spicy Pecans

spicy nuts pin

These savory and spicy pecans are a favorite in our home. 

My husband absolutely loves them. We make them every year at Christmas time. 

We usually make them several times fall through winter. I buy 2-pound bags at Sam's Club. 

Let me warn you……these things are addictive! We blew through the last batch in 2-1/2 days!

It is so hard to walk by the container and not sneak a handful……several times per day! 

You'll find the printable recipe for the Savory & Spicy Pecans below.

melting butter on the stove

First, you will melt your butter over low heat. Whisk in your garlic salt, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until blended.

Pour the butter mixture over the pecans in a pot or bowl (no heat) and stir until blend well together. 

pecans on a sheet tray

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I used 2 large baking sheets for 2 pounds of pecans. 

Distribute the pecans between the 2 trays. 

Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. 

Stir halfway through. Halfway through, I also switch the trays on the shelves in the oven. 

Remove them and let them completely cool and dry out somewhat. 

Store in airtight containers.

These savory and spicy pecans are a beautiful addition on a charcuterie board.

They make a great snack or with a glass of wine in the evening. I store ours in airtight containers like tupperware, glassware, mason jars and zip lock bags.

They also make a great gift! I've given these to neighbors before with a bottle of wine for the holidays. 

Be sure to share and pin the recipe!

    This recipe looks amazing. Sadly my husband can’t do spicy anymore. Any suggestions? Or will it be ok just to leave it out? Thank you in advance for your help!

      Thanks, Edith! I’m not big on horribly spicy. They aren’t hot at all, but to er on the side of caution, I think you could just leave the cayenne pepper out! Let me know how that works.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
