These sweet and spicy roasted almonds are not your typical roasted almonds. These have a little kick from chili powder and depth from more cinnamon than most recipes.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 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 the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.

  2. Beat egg white and vanilla together in large bowl until frothy. Add almonds; toss to coat. Drain almonds in a mesh strainer to remove excess liquid, 5 to 10 minutes; return strained almonds to the bowl.

  3. Combine white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and salt in a separate bowl; sprinkle over almonds. Toss to evenly coat; evenly spread on the prepared jelly roll pan.

  4. Bake until seasonings cling to almonds, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
