Very tasty and addicting. I added a little extra rosemary and thyme.I also added a little basil and garlic powder. I added some olive oil and seasoning to the pecans then roasted them. I then added the rest of the seasoning when they were done. I roasted them at 250 for an hour instead. I feel they roast better at a slower temp.
