Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
- 0.3333 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the egg white mixture.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and kosher salt. Mix well.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the coated almonds, stirring until all the almonds are evenly coated with the sugary mixture.
Step 6
Spread the almonds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent sticking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
