How to cook deliciously - Candied Pecans

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350° and spread pecans in an even layer on a medium baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until nuts are fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes.

2. Stage

Combine spices and orange zest in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

3. Stage

Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, combine brown sugar and orange juice or water and bring up to a rolling boil. Boil, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
