Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Grind fennel seeds in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in coriander, pepper, and paprika. Add garlic, pecans, oil, honey, and salt to spice mixture and toss to coat.

Step 2

Spread out pecan mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake, rotating baking sheet and stirring pecans halfway through, until golden brown and toasted all the way through, 13–15 minutes. Let cool.

Step 3

Do ahead: Nuts can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
