Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3 cups whole almonds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

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