Sweet and Spicy Roasted Almonds
Share recipe
Description
Not your typical roasted almonds, these have a little kick of chili powder and the depth of more cinnamon than most recipes.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.
- 2. 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.
- 3. 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.
- 4. 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.
