Ingredients
– 16 ounces raw, unsalted almonds (about 3 cups)
– 1 egg white
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt (use 1/2 teaspoon if substituting iodized table salt)
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 250°F and grease a large baking sheet without using parchment paper or foil.
2-In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, fine sea salt (or reduced iodized salt), and ground cinnamon; set it aside for later.
3-Then, in a large bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract together until frothy, which takes about 1 minute.
4-Next, add the raw almonds to the egg white mixture and stir until they’re evenly coated.
5-Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over the coated almonds and stir well, making sure to scrape any extra from the bowl into the nuts.
6-Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 1 hour at 250°F, remembering to stir every 15 minutes to achieve that perfect crispiness and light texture.
7-After baking, stir the almonds one last time and let them cool completely on the baking sheet or enjoy them warm right away.
