Ingredients

2 tbsps butter

2 tbsps monk brown sugar alternative

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups whole pecans

1 tbsp skinny syrup, from Jordans

Direction

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Take off heat. Add the sweetener, cinnamon, cumin, salt and cayenne. Stir until well combined and the sweetener has pretty much dissolved.

Add the nuts to the mixture in the saucepan and mix gently until all the nuts are coated. Try not to break any of the nuts.

Pour out onto the prepared pan. Spread out so there’s no overlapping.

Bake until the coating has caramelized and set, and reached a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Check after 8 minutes, as the nuts can burn very quickly. If there is still butter that’s runny, they are not done yet. Check often.

Take the nuts out of the oven when they’re done and let them cool completely in the pan. The nuts will harden up as they cool. Break apart any clusters and serve.
