Can I make these pecans less spicy?

Of course. Just reduce or skip the cayenne and hot sauce. They’ll still taste amazing.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. Just use two sheet pans so everything roasts evenly.

Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire, salt, garlic powder, ground mustard, hot sauce, and cayenne.
Pour the mixture over the pecans and stir until well coated. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway, until toasted and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely, tossing occasionally.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Adjust the spice level to your liking by modifying the cayenne and hot sauce. These also make excellent edible gifts in jars tied with ribbon.
