Spiced Holiday Pecans

2 cups pecan halves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the pecans in a large heatproof bowl.

Melt butter and add the cayenne and cinnamon, and stir until combined. Pour over the pecans and toss until the nuts are completely coated. Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the pecans and toss again.

Spread the pecans on the prepared sheet in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes, stirring once. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. Leftovers (if you have any) can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
