Garam Masala Roasted Pecans

Roasted pecans are officially my new favorite snack.

Any roasted nuts are, really.

Now that I've discovered I'm not allergic to nuts anymore, I'm obsessed with nuts.

Apart from snacking on roasted pecans, I love pecan butter (homemade of course), or raw energy balls made with pecans. I also want to try out cashew cheesecake, salad dressings, milk, and more. There are sooo many options!

These Garam Masala Pecans are the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. They're a great party snack that's easy to prepare and much better than store-bought chips!

These maple roasted pecans remind me of those caramelized nuts you buy from street vendors. They're roasted to perfection and covered with sticky caramelized maple syrup.

No bad oils or regular sugar. Only organic goodness.

You could make this with any other nuts you like. I may try out cashews or walnuts next time!

In this recipe, I'm mixing maple syrup, coconut oil, and the seasoning together and then pouring it onto the nuts. I add the oil because I think it makes the nuts crispier, but if you want to keep it oil free, just add more maple syrup instead.

I really like the taste of garam masala and I think these would also be great as a salad topping. Try adding them to your salad instead of regular croutons for extra crunch!
