Texas Chipotle-Cinnamon Spiced Pecans

Another great recipe from The Homesick Texan Cookbook. These are great, super easy, and most folks like 'em. I usually add a couple of pinches of kosher salt to the spice mix, then add  a little more if need be.
Music for making: Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon

Ingredients
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups raw pecan halves
1 tbsp brown sugar (maybe a titch more)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt, to taste


Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
While the butter is melting and the oven is preheating, mix up the brown sugar, cinnamon, chipotle power, and cumin.
Once the butter is melted, add the pecans and stir to coat. Add the spice mixture 1/3's stirring to coat completely.
Pour pecans out onto parchment lined baking sheet. Spread into an even later (it will be tight fit, but do your best).
Bake for 15 minutes or so until they are dark in color and fragrant. Taste while warm and salt as needed. Allow to cool.
