- 3/4 pound pecan halves
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Kikkoman Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
- Bring 1-1/2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan. Add pecans and boil 2 minutes; drain thoroughly. Meanwhile, spray large, shallow baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. Combine corn syrup, soy sauce, onion and garlic powders and red pepper in same saucepan. Cook, over medium-high heat, until mixture begins to boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pecans and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until sauce is absorbed by nuts. Turn pecans out onto prepared baking pan, spreading to separate pecans in a single layer.
