Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. In a medium bowl, toss the pecans with the melted butter until evenly coated. In a small bowl, combine the falafel mix with the sugar and cayenne. Pour the spice mix over the pecans and toss to coat. Spread the spiced nuts on a lightly greased baking sheet and toast for about 9 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden. Let cool.

  2. Make Ahead: The pecans can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.

  3. Notes: Add the cayenne pepper to the spice mixture a tiny pinch at a time. Dip a buttered pecan in the mixture after each pinch and taste, then proceed with the recipe when you've reached your preferred level of heat.

Why this Falafel-Spiced Pecans works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Falafel-Spiced Pecans that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
