Health Highlights
Step up your snack game with these Cinnamon Spiced Almonds. Especially great for the holidays!

Ingredients


1 medium egg Egg white
1/2 tbsp Water
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 cup unpacked Brown sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground cloves
1/4 tsp Nutmeg, ground
1/4 tsp Ginger, ground
3 cup whole Almonds, raw
1 pinch Sea Salt

Instructions


Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white with the water and vanilla until frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3: In another medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger, mix together, and set aside. 

Step 4: Pour the almonds into the egg white mixture and stir together until they are all coated. 

Step 5: Transfer the sugar mixture to the almonds and toss until coated.

Step 6: Spread the almond mixture onto a prepared baking sheet in an even layer and sprinkle with sea salt. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring at least once halfway through.

Step 7: Allow cooling until no longer warm, about 1 hour. Then transfer to an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes:

Tips:

  • This recipe works well with any type of nut or seed, or you can add a mixture of walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and cashews. Just be sure to adjust cook time, as the smaller nuts or seeds will burn faster than almonds. 
  • This makes a great appetizer or gift during the holidays. 
  • For a sugar-free recipe, use monk fruit, stevia, or Swerve instead of sugar. You can find all of these sugar substitutes in the health food section at your local grocery store.
