Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy but not stiff.
Add the filberts (hazelnuts) to the egg white mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated filberts and stir well to ensure every nut is evenly coated with the sweet spice mixture.
Spread the coated filberts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not clumped together.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting and to prevent burning.
Once the filberts are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as the nuts cool.
Transfer the cooled cinnamon filberts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
