- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white with the water until frothy. Add vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Step 4
Add the almonds to the egg white mixture and stir until the almonds are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture onto the almonds. Stir until all the almonds are fully coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated almonds into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.
