Sweet & Spicy Almonds

Almonds can be found in a few different parts of the grocery store, and the prices can vary drastically. I've found that it's best to steer clear of the nuts in the snack aisle – the best deals can be found in the baking aise (usually near the chocolate chips).
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • ¼ cup Light Brown Sugar packed
  • cup White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 6 ounces Whole Almonds

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 300*F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or a piece of parchment.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg white until foamy but not stiff – 10-20 seconds using a hand-held egg beater. Stir in the sugars, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Add the nuts and stir until coated. Pour onto the baking sheet and spread out into a single layer.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice as the nuts cook. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for at least one hour. Break up the nuts before serving.
  • Stor in an air-tight container at room temperature.
