Georgia is the top pecan-producing state in the nation.

The University of Georgia agricultural extension service

estimates that Georgia has more than 140,000 acres of

pecan orchards. The following recipe is easy to make and

a wonderful way to enjoy a healthy and tasty snack.

Spiced Georgia Pecans

Makes 5 Cups

2 teaspoons kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar

5 cups pecan halves (28 ounces)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350*F.  In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, cayenne, cinnamon and brown sugar.

2. Spread the pecans on a large rimmed baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, until fragrant. Transfer the pecans to a large bowl and toss with the butter.

3. Add the spices and toss to coat. Return to the baking sheet and toast for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until fragrant. Let cool.
