I made a half recipe (2 cups) and they disappeared in minutes yesterday.

THYME TOASTED PECANS

from Bon Appétit, Y'all by Virginia Willis

4 cups pecan halves

2 tsp. coarse salt or sea salt

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbs. fresh thyme leaves

3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

In a large, dry skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the salt, pepper, thyme and olive oil.

Add the warm toasted pecans to the thyme-oil mixture. Stir well to combine and evenly coat the pecans. The fragrance is amazing! Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.

Making ahead: Once the seasoned nuts have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the regrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring them to room temperature before serving.

 
You've solved my dilemma Joe...

I got an email yesterday wanting to know what appetizer I'm planning on making for a going-away party on the 22nd. I won't be able to attend and it will need to be served room-temp.

Your pecans sound like a winner. Thanks Joe.
