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.

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.
