Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg white and vanilla extract until lightly frothy. Add the almonds and toss to coat thoroughly. (2 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Place the almond mixture in a mesh strainer and allow excess liquid to drain for 5-10 minutes. Return the strained almonds to the bowl. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the almonds. Toss until all almonds are well-coated. (3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Spread the almonds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)

06

Step
1 hrs

Bake for approximately 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning. The almonds are ready when the seasoning appears dry and clings well to the nuts. (60 minutes)

07

Step
1 hrs

Allow the roasted almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage. This ensures maximum crispness. (30 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of chili powder.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference for spice.
Store the cooled almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Make sure the almonds are in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

    Make sure you really drain those almonds! Otherwise, they won't crisp up properly.
