Ingredients
3 cups whole almonds1 egg white1 tablespoon vanilla bean pasteFew drops of water1/3 cup granulated sugar1/3 cup brown sugar2 tablespoons cocoa powder1 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 – 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or with parchment paper. Set aside.
Whisk together the egg white, vanilla bean paste, and a few drops of water in a mixing bowl. Beat mixture until it is light and frothy. Add the almonds and toss to evenly coat with the egg white mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugars, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps. Add the almonds, and toss to coat. Spread the coated almonds out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 – 40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes. Keep a close watch on the almonds because they will burn quickly.
Once the almonds are done, spread them out on a large piece of parchment or waxed paper until they have cooled completely (it’s OK to snack on a few while they cool… That’s what I did!). Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
