Crisp Spicy Pecans

Let's Cook

1. Step 1.

   Combine in a small bowl: 3 tablespoons butter, melted; 1 tablespoon sweet paprika; 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce; 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2. Step 2.

   Set aside to cool. Beat in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until very foamy: 1 egg white; 1 teaspoon salt

3. Step 3.

   Gradually add and beat until soft peaks form: 6 tablespoons sugar

4. Step 4.

   Fold in along with the butter mixture until well coated: 3 cups pecan halves (12 ounces)

5. Step 5.

   Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring twice, until crisp and browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour onto a large sheet of foil to cool, then break into clusters or individual nuts.
