Ingredients
-
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 tsp Heilala Vanilla Bean Paste or Heilala Vanilla Extract
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
3/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp ground ginger
-
1 egg white
-
1 lb whole, raw almonds
Method
-
Preheat oven to 120 degrees C. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
-
To a small mixing bowl, add both sugars, cinnamon, salt and ginger and stir to combine. Set aside.
-
Add egg white to a larger mixing bowl and beat with hand mixer until frothy. Add Heilala Vanilla Bean Paste and beat again to combine. This can be done with a whisk, but will take longer.
-
Add almonds to bowl with the egg whites and stir to combine. Add sugar mixture and stir again to combine.
-
Spread almonds out in a single, even layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring almonds every 15 minutes.
-
After almonds have baked an hour, taste one almond to check for desired crispiness. Adjust baking time per your tastes.
-
Let almonds cool, uncovered.
-
Nuts can be served warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
