【Roasted Pecans】
by MaomaoMom
My family loves all kinds of snacks! You can find roasted peanuts and cashew, dried fruits, sesame snaps, chocolates, and many other snacks in our kitchen cupboards. We used to buy roasted mini-walnuts every time we visited China. Recently, we found that Costco’s pecan halves can be roasted and they have a similar taste to Chinese mini-walnuts that we love. I made these roasted pecans for our dinner guests. These roasted pecans disappeared quickly.
Meal type: Appetizer
Prepare time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Level: Easy
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients:
1) Half package of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Pecan Halves 454g;
2) 3/4 tsp salt;
3) 1/2-2/3 tsp Chinese five-spice powder.
Directions:
1: Place pecan in a large bowl, then fill with 5 cups of boiling water to cover pecans (Picture 1). Soak for 15 seconds then drain well (Picture 2).
2: Sprinkle salt and Chinese five-spice powder on top, and toss to coat pecans evenly (Picture 3).
3: Preheat oven to 330F. Line a large 13×18 baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out pecans on the baking sheet (Picture 4).
4: Bake at 330F for 20 minutes. Take out and stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon to prevent overheat at certain spots. Spread out evenly again. Bake for another 4 minutes until inside of pecans turns light brown. Turn off the oven and let baked pecans stay in the oven for two more minutes.
5: Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store them in airtight containers in fridge. You now can enjoy a handful of roasted pecans every day.
Very good blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really love to be a part of online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
Merely wanna admit that this is very useful, Thanks for taking your time to write this.
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs.” by Mark Twain.
