Honey Chipotle Pecans Recipes

HONEY-CHIPOTLE PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a skillet, warm honey with chipotle powder and cinnamon over low heat, then add the nuts and stir to coat evenly.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread nuts evenly in a single layer on the sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until nuts are fragrant (10-15 minutes).
• Allow to cool slightly (1 minute).
• In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and salt.
• Add the warm pecans, and toss to coat evenly.
• Spread out on fresh sheet of waxed paper and let dry completely.
• Store in an airtight container.

CHIPOTLE-PECAN CANDIED POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the popcorn and pecans on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven while preparing the syrup.
• Combine the brown sugar, butter and honey in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is completely melted. Increase the heat to high and boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chile powder, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Remove the popcorn mixture from the oven; slowly pour the syrup over the top and gently stir to coat.
• Return the popcorn to the oven and bake until the caramel is dry and hardened, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour. Let cool on the baking sheet.

CHIPOTLE HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Stir together the sugar, chipotle powder, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside.
• Stir together the butter, honey, and kosher salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the peanuts until well coated, then pour out into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until the nuts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking. Once done, scrape the peanuts into a large metal bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss the peanuts to evenly coat with the spice mixture. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing every few minutes so the nuts do not stick together.

CHIPOTLE GLAZED PECANS

Steps:

• Beat egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Add pecans, sugar and chipotle powder; toss until pecans are well coated.
• Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven, stirring every 5 minutes, for 15 minutes.
• Cool completely. Break apart any large clusters. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
