Ingredients

2 cups raw, halved pecans

3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

3/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch nutmeg

Pinch cayenne

3/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

3/4 teaspoon fine grain mineral salt

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Process:

  1. Add the pecans, smoked paprika, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, and cayenne to a skillet.
  2. Turn heat to medium and toast for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
  3. Add the maple syrup, thyme, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder and stir well to coat, then cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the maple syrup has thickened.
  4. Pour onto parchment paper and space out so they’re not touching each other. They’ll harden as they cool.
  5. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temp for up to 5 days. Makes 2 cups.
