Ingredients:

4 cups raw pecans (for optimal digestion, it is best to soak the nuts for 2-6 hours before proceeding with the rest of the recipe…soak them in a bowl full of water along with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2-1 teaspoon Dave’s Chipotle Powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons butter, melted
coarse sea salt- to taste

Instructions:

1. If you soaked the nuts, go ahead and drain them and pat dry. If not, just proceed with the rest of the recipe.

2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Mix sugar through smoked paprika in a small bowl.

3. Spread the pecans out onto a sheet pan. Roast in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until they start to get crunchy and aromatic. Remove from the oven, and carefully transfer the pecans to a large bowl.

4. Pour the melted butter over the pecans. Mix well. Add the spiced sugar mixture and mix again, so that all of the pecans are coated.

5. Pour the coated pecans back onto the sheet pan and roast for another 3-5 minutes. Watch that they do not burn. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste before serving.
