Salted Buttered Pecans with Orange and Nutmeg
Photo by Peden + Munk

The orange zest and nutmeg say holiday, but you can switch up the spices as long as you keep the butter and salt.

Ingredients

Makes about 2 cups

2 cups pecan halves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss pecans, butter, nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp. salt on a rimmed baking sheet to coat. Bake, tossing once, until deepened in color and fragrant, 8–10 minutes. Remove from oven and toss with orange zest and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Let cool before eating all of them.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 2

    Pecans can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

  • This will not be my go-to board game snack; they will chopped up and then added to my brownie batter.

  • I don't understand the mediocre reviews, I thought these were perfect. Buttery, salty, fragrantly orange.

  • These are amaaaazing!!! I made one batch, we tasted them, and I immediately made a double batch, using up all my pecans in the house!! I am about to make a triple batch because the others were given away with Christmas gifts (everyone loves them!). With several diabetics in the family, I am so happy to find such a delicious treat that is sugar free!!

  • Disappointing. They were not only butter-soggy, but the orange and nutmeg flavors got lost. We didn't even bring them to the party.

  • The orange tasted bitter and not that tasty.

  • I rarely use these words, as written these were way too salty and had too much butter. The orange zest was completely overpowered by the salt. Since the nuts came out of the oven more chewy than crisp I put them on paper towels to cool knowing it would take care of the excess butter. Before they cooled completely I had another idea. I sprinkled on a small spoonful of sugar. The difference was actually amazing. The sugar helped to balance the salt without adding as much sweetness as a candied nut. A pleasant surprise was how the sugar also brought out the flavor of the orange zest.

  • 我做一些补充这个食谱:首先,to the butter/spice mix, I added a teaspoon of sugar and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. I used no extra butter at this stage because I didn’t have unsalted butter. Second, to the orange mixture I added 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper and twice the zest recommended. I have not yet served them, but my “tasting” samples seem excellent. More Aleppo pepper next time, and maybe a bit of smoked paprika.
