Serve these spicy delicious almonds alone, or mix them with 2-3 cups of popcorn. This tasty treat is the perfect mix of salty and sweet and also makes a great gift.
Makes: 2 cups
1 large egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whole natural almonds
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 225ºF (110ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place egg white in a large stainless steel bowl; whisk until frothy. Whisk in vanilla. Add almonds and gently toss until completely coated. Place remaining ingredients in a bowl and toss until well-combined. Add sugar mixture to the almonds, a quarter at a time, and gently toss until well-coated.
Transfer almonds to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, then stir and bake for 15 more minutes, or until coating is lightly colored and dried out.
Remove from oven and immediately loosen with a metal spatula. Cool before serving.
