- 2 cups pecans
- 2 cups almonds
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary finely chopped mixed, sage, savory and thyme, or dried equivalent of whatever you have
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper I use 1/2 teaspoon

- 1 large egg white 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Mexican if you can get it
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch

- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch habanero powder or cayenne if you want a touch of heat
- Preheat oven to 225F. Line baking sheet with parchment or non-stick foil.
- Place egg white in bowl and whip until frothy. Whip in vanilla, then gently add pecans and toss until completely coated with mixture.
- Sift remaining ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Add sugar-cocoa mixture to pecans one quarter at a time, and very gently toss until well coated. I use my hands. Transfer pecans to prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer. Try not to let pecans touch each other.
- Bake 30 minutes. Gently turn over nuts and continue to bake, stirring every 15 minutes until coating is lightly colored and dried out, about 1 hour and 15 minutes total. Remove from oven an immediately loosen nuts with metal spatula. Cool completely before serving.
- Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl, toss the nuts with the maple syrup, olive oil, herbs and cayenne. Spread nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Season with salt and pepper and toss frequently until cool. Makes 6 cups. Can be stored in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
