This recipe spotlights our Spicy candied pecans made with a blend of five chilis to give a medium level of heat and a huge depth of flavor (think of it as a 2 on a 4-chili heat scale.) Here at Fortune Favors, we like to say The Spicy is "Midwest spicy" because it doesn't offend anyone. 😉
🌶 Our Spicy pecans contain only 5g of sugar per serving, are vegan, certified gluten-free, filled with healthy fats and are keto-friendly.
🍜 This recipe can be served hot, with the cooling vegetables over top, or chilled for a hearty, refreshing meal. Any vegetables or additional protein can be added... make it your own!
