Step 1

Put the pecan nuts, brown sugar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, cinnamon and salt in a non-stick skillet and stir well.

Step 2

Place the pan over medium heat, and let the nuts cook for about 5 minutes until really bubbly and sticky. Stir them frequently and don't leave them unattended as they can burn easily.

Step 3

Turn off the heat and carefully spoon the nuts onto a parchment paper or silicone mat-lined plate or baking tray. Spread them out in a single layer with a spoon and leave them to cool at room temperature. They will get hard and crunchy as they cool down.
