• 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put pecans, butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper into a medium bowl; toss to combine. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fragrant and sugar has melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
