Ingredients

• 2 cups raw, halved pecans
• 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• Pinch nutmeg
• Pinch cayenne
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3/4 teaspoon fine grain mineral salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Add the pecans, smoked paprika, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, and cayenne to a skillet.
2. Turn heat to medium and toast for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
3. Add the maple syrup, thyme, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder and stir well to coat, then cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the maple syrup has thickened.
4. Pour onto parchment paper and space out so they’re not touching each other. They’ll harden as they cool.
5. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temp for up to 5 days.
