Hot and Salty Spiced Pecans

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 cups pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir cumin and cayenne pepper into the butter until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir pecans, sucralose sweetener, and salt into the butter mixture to coat the nuts completely. Spread coated nuts onto a baking sheet.

Bake pecans in preheated oven until lightly browned, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes.
