Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract together until frothy.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl with the egg white mixture and toss to coat the almonds evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the sugar and spice mixture over the coated almonds. Stir until the almonds are fully covered in the mixture.
Spread the almonds out in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon roasted almonds to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
