Slow cooker Cinnamon Pecans
Chipotle and Rosemary Roasted Pecans
I'm sad to report that I made these the other day, and now all but a few are gone. {insert sad face icon}. Yes, I ate pretty much all of them except for the one small jar I set aside for my Christmas gifts in a jar series. I don't even want to calculate the calories I ate, all in the name of blogging. I had to keep tasting them to report accurately to my readers, correct? Yes, they are super yummy and to die for. I will make more using almonds in a few days. These cinnamon pecans have a nice softer coating than the harder shell of the ones sold at the mall. I would assume the ones you make in the oven are harder as well, I will have to make those next week. Anyhow, they are super yummy, quick to make and perfect for giving or having around during the holidays.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg white and vanilla until it is frothy. Add pecans to the bowl and stir until the pecans are coated thoroughly.
If you are not using a non-stick slow cooker, you might want to spray your slow cooker with a non-stick spray. Add the pecan mixture and the sugar mixture to the slow cooker and stir until the cinnamon sugar mixture is coated well on the pecans. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.
During the last hour, add the water and stir.

My friend brought my husband and I a box of these tasty Chipotle and Rosemary Roasted Pecans and we ate the whole box! She shared with me this recipe which used mixed nuts instead of just pecans. These quick and easy pecans are great to package and give as holiday gifts.

) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease sheet pan generously with vegetable oil. Combine the pecans, 1 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice and chipotle powder on the sheet pan. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 1 tablespoon of the rosemary and 1 teaspoon of salt and toss again. If using dried rosemary, I find it easier to mix the rosemary and salt in an empty spice container and sprinkle from there. The second time I made these, I lined my sheet pan with a non-stick silicone baking mat {affiliate link
Spread the pecans evenly on pan. Roast the pecans for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the pecans are glazed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of rosemary.
Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.
