Spicy Caramelized Pecans

1 c. pecan halves

1 egg white

1 T. Cajun seasoning, such as Soileau’s, Emeril’s Essence, or Paul Prudhomme’s Magic

2 T. dark brown sugar

Beat egg white until it begins to froth. Add the seasoning and sugar and mix well. Stir in pecans. Turn onto a greased foil-lined pan. Bake in a 350° oven for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and stir well. Reduce oven heat to 300°. Return pecans to oven, checking every 5 minutes, until the coating is dry and the nuts are toasted. Cool to room temperature.
