Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the butter and the pecans in a medium bowl and toss to coat.
- Step 2
Spread the pecans in one layer in a shallow baking pan or a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Shake the pan, stirring the nuts two or three times while baking to prevent scorching. Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne or white pepper, tossing to coat. Serve or store in airtight container.

My Southern mother taught me this easy recipe, but we always took the toasted nuts, put them in a brown paper bag, added the salt and shook them up. When cooled, store them just like that, still in the bag, in a tin. She also used a brown paper bag to shake the chicken in seasoned flour before frying, but that's a recipe for another day....
25 minutes is way too long. My first try they began to burn at 15. Later I saw that other recipes called for baking 6-7 minutes at 350°. Will try next time at this temp and time.
Very similar to the recipe that my Mother followed way back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. We toasted pecans from the trees in our yard in Thibodaux, LA.
Melt butter on sheet pan while heating oven add pecans toss and toast. One pan to clean. These are delicious. My mom made similar but no cayenne.
