The NuttyBlog : Nutty News and Updates from JW Renfroe Pecan Co

While we have a recipe for oven roasted & salted pecans, some just prefer the good ole’ deep fry technique. All times listed below are based on a temperature of 360°, so you may need to adjust your times according to your fryer. Remember not to over-cook, the nuts will continue to brown after removal from the oil. Cooking them until they “look” done will burn them. According to your taste, drizzle with melted butter and popcorn salt while the nuts are cooling. As a substitute to salt, sprinkle on a cajun spice mix.

Pecans - 1 min - stir once
