Do you love sweet and spicy easy snacks? Then this Sweet and Sriracha Spiced Pecans Recipe is for you!!
Why we love this Sweet and Sriracha Spiced Pecans Recipe
As I spend more and more time crossing the US from Miami to New York, I've also been spending an increasing amount of time in the airport.
I love getting to know this new city, but I also feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to sleep - let alone eat a balanced meal...or sometimes anything at all!
I often find myself sitting in the airport, eyeing all of the unhealthy snack offerings and telling myself, "I wish I had packed a snack!"
Packing a light snack has become a go-to for making sure I avoid a serious case of the hangries. It's also been a great way to make healthier, more informed choices about what I eat as opposed to being stuck with whatever is offered at the airport or during long flights.
I recently whipped up this delicious Sweet and Sriracha SpicedPecans Recipe in what might possibly be the easiest recipe ever!
Why We love this Sweet and Sriracha Spiced Pecans Recipe
Ever since I made my first batch of Sriracha Cauliflower I've been obsessed with the seasoning.
My obsession aside, not only is thisSweet and Sriracha Spiced Pecans RecipeSO easy but they're yummy too with just the right amount of slowly building heat.
Sweet and Sriracha Spiced Pecans Recipe
I love that these are sugar reduced and calorie reduced thanks to SPLENDA® Sweetener Products. Instead of making these with my usual sugar, I usedSPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, each packet is conveniently equivalent to 2 teaspoons of SPLENDA® so I didn't even have to measure out the seasoning.
Call me lazy but I took a small delight in that fact - fractions never were my friends. Plus, aside from a small amount of butter, the recipe features relatively healthy ingredients.
