Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Prepare the Pecans: In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the pecans, ensuring they are well coated.
Spice it Up: Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually sprinkle this mixture over the pecans, stirring to coat evenly.
Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the spiced pecans in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Bake to Perfection: Pop them into the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to guarantee an even coating.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow your spiced pecans to cool completely before diving into this crunchy goodness.
