Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb whole raw almonds unsalted
  • 1 fl oz egg white about 1 large egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.67 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.125 tsp ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 275°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk egg white and vanilla in a large bowl until foamy and light.
  • Toss almonds into the foamy mixture until every nut is lightly coated.
  • Stir sugars, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a separate bowl until evenly mixed.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over almonds and fold until no dry spots remain.
  • Spread almonds on the sheet in a single layer without crowding.
  • Bake 20 minutes, stir and spread again, then bake 18–22 minutes until dry and crisp.
  • Cool completely on the pan, break apart any clumps, and store airtight.

Notes

Variation: Add a pinch of cayenne for a sweet-heat finish, or swap half the cinnamon for pumpkin spice. Storage: Keep in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 weeks; re-crisp on a sheet pan at 300°F for 5 minutes if needed.
