**Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups whole almonds
– 1 egg white
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the almonds from sticking and make for easy cleanup later.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg white until it becomes frothy. The egg white will act as a binding agent for the sugar and cinnamon coating on the almonds.
3. Add the whole almonds to the bowl with the frothy egg white and gently toss them until all the almonds are coated evenly.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix together the white sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sugar mixture.
5. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the almonds in the bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to toss the almonds until they are coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
6. Spread the cinnamon sugar coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the almonds are not crowded together to ensure they roast evenly.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the almonds for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time. Keep a close eye on the almonds to prevent burning.
8. Once the almonds are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The almonds will continue to crisp up as they cool.
9. Transfer the cooled cinnamon sugar roasted almonds to an airtight container or serve them immediately. These almonds make a wonderful snack on their own, or you can also use them as a topping for salads, yogurt, or ice cream.
