Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Steps

  1. Heat the air fryer to 350°F (or the oven to 375°F).
  2. Mix the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl.
  3. In a larger bowl, beat the egg white until frothy, then beat in the vanilla.
  4. Add the almonds and stir until they're all coated. Then add the sugar mix and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the almonds in a single layer in the air fryer basket (or on a greased baking sheet).
  6. Cook about 6 minutes in the air fryer or 8 minutes in the oven, tossing halfway. Watch closely at the end so they don't burn.
  7. Let them cool before eating. They get crunchier as they cool.
