A delightful and easy-to-make snack featuring roasted pecans with a savory twist.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter.
You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and salt into the melted butter.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the pecans to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the pecans.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the pecans are not overlapping for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stirring prevents burning and ensures even roasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely.
Cooling allows the pecans to crisp up.
Serve the pecans as a snack or use them as a topping for salads or desserts.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
