Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, vanilla extract, and water until the mixture becomes frothy but not stiff.
Add the raw almonds into the egg white mixture and toss until all almonds are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the coated almonds and gently stir until the almonds are fully covered with the sugar mixture.
Spread the sugared almonds evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent the sugar from burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Transfer the cooled almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
