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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract together until frothy.

Step 3

Add the raw almonds to the bowl with the egg white mixture and toss to coat the almonds evenly.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Pour the sugar and spice mixture over the coated almonds. Stir until the almonds are fully covered in the mixture.

Step 6

Spread the almonds out in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon roasted almonds to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
