Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups whole almonds
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.
  • Combine egg white and vanilla in large bowl; beat until frothy. Add almonds and toss to coat. Pour almonds into a mesh strainer to drain excess liquid, 5 to 10 minutes. Return strained almonds to the bowl.
  • Stir white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and salt together in a bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over almonds and toss to coat evenly. Spread coated nuts evenly onto prepared jelly roll pan.
  • Bake, stirring every 20 minutes, until the seasoning clings to the almonds, about 1 hour. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique flavor profile. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Roast the almonds in a single layer: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Keep an eye on the almonds while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so it is important to stir them frequently.
  • Let the almonds cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up and develop their full flavor.
