Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the egg white, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until combined and slightly frothy.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the egg white mixture and stir until no lumps remain.
Fold the sliced almonds into the mixture, ensuring all the almonds are evenly coated with the batter.
Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the almond mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound into a thin layer using the back of the spoon to create crisps no more than 1/8 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the crisps are golden brown and the centers look dry.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool completely on the tray before carefully peeling them off the parchment paper.
Store the almond crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
