Notes
Note: You can substitute regular iodized salt for the Kosher if preferred. After bringing the nuts out the final time, you could add additional spices to give the nuts more "heat" or add sugar or cinnamon for a sweet twist. If you don't have pecans, walnuts are similar and might be a good alternative.
A quick and light snack option: Using a microwave safe dish, take a handful of raw pecans, spray lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Then pop them into the microwave for 1 minutes 30 seconds. Let the nuts cool and enjoy!!!
