Toss 3/4 lb pecan halves in 1/4 C maple syrup.
Combine 1/2 C brown sugar, 2 tsp Penzey's Chili 9000, and 1 tsp salt.
Toss sugar mix and pecans together to coat.
Spread in single layer on a parchment-covered sheet pan.
Roast (I did mine in 375F oven) until you can smell chili but not pecans.
Stir well, pull from oven, taste-check for seasonings.
