Ingredients

  • 3 cups unblanched almonds
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice optional
  • Pinch of coarse sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 F
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg white until foamy. About 5 minutes - alternatively you can use a hand mixer to save time.
  • Fold in the almonds, sugar, and spices. Stir to combine and coat the almonds.
  • Pour the coated almonds evenly over a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste an almond to see if it is done to your liking, you may opt to bake longer if you’d like the almonds to be more crisp up to 1 hour.
