PREP: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 300ºF.
MIX: Combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg in a bowl, set aside.
WHISK: In a small bowl whisk the vanilla extract with the egg white until just foamy and well beaten.
TOSS: In medium bowl, add the pecans and toss in the egg white mixture. Mix until the pecans are evenly coated. Add the cinnamon sugar mixture, toss until all the nuts are coated.
BAKE: Spread pecan mixture out onto a single layer on parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, removing the nuts and stir.
RETURN TO OVEN: Bake for another 20 minutes. They are done when the sugar coating starts to turn white and the house smells like cinnamon. Remove from the oven and allow the pecans to cool to room temperature. The sugar will harden more as the pecans come to room temperature.
STORE: in an airtight container until ready to use.
