How to Make Cajun Pecans
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the pecans, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Toss everything together until the pecans are evenly coated.
- Spread the pecan mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 125 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pecans are golden brown and the sugar is caramelized. Keep a close eye on them during the last 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar will continue to set as they cool.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
