Spiced Almonds

Servings:Makes about 1 cup of spiced almonds

Ingredients
1/2 cup (4 oz.) sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1 cup (145 grams/ 5 oz.) blanched whole almonds

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt.
3. In a larger mixing bowl whisk the egg white until it’s frothy and thick.
4. Add the spice mix to the egg white and whisk to combine completely.
5. Add the nuts to the egg white mixture and toss with a spoon.
6. Spoon the coated nuts onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Bake the nuts for 30 minutes, or until they turn light brown. Allow the nuts to cool completely and they will get very crunchy. Set aside until ready to serve.
