Spicy Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

Roasted Almonds

The holidays allow plenty of opportunities to get creative with delicious dinners, decadent desserts and stunning sides. But, sometimes we all forget that the little bites you set out before the main course are just as important.

These cinnamon roasted almonds with a touch of cayenne pepper for a little kick of spice make both a impressive and tasty snack and a thoughtful homemade gift for the holidays!

It’s as simple as this: Toss some whole almonds in a mixture of egg whites and water, spread them out on a big baking pan, and sprinkle with sugar, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. After the almonds bake for about an hour, let cool. Then, just package them pretty in a re-sealable glass jar with a little ribbon, and voila! A sweet (and a little spicy) gift from your kitchen that everyone will love munching on!

Spicy Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

Yield: About 16 servings (4 cups)

Ingredients:

1 egg white
1 teaspoon cold water
4 cups whole almonds
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

Lightly beat the egg white; add water, and beat until frothy but not stiff. Add the nuts, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugar, salt, cayenne and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the nuts. Toss to coat, and spread evenly on the prepared pan.

Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until golden. Allow to cool, then store nuts in airtight containers.

Enjoy!

    What a nice snack! I’ve been making different cookies and sweets to bring in to work with me, and plan to make brownies tonight. But I think next on the list are these roasted almonds, I think they will appreciate the change from sweet to savory. Thank you!
    By the way, beautiful tree! I wish I could have one also , but our living room is just too small. Instead we hung up a wreath in the living room – which is nice because it doesn’t take up any space but still brings us the lovely smell of christmas.

    Love the new design! So sleek and pretty. Although it did take a few minutes to load just now, but was fine earlier.

    These nuts look great! I candied some walnuts once and they were incredible, and easy. Thanks for reminding me to make some more!

    Georgia, I LOVE your redesign–elegant yet homey. :)

    Cinnamon-roasted almonds are a favorite treat of mine, REGARDLESS if it’s the holidays. I’ll have to add some cayenne next time!

    I love nuts for snacks, but sometimes I get bored of the plain ones. This looks like a great recipe to switch it up a little. I could use some right now as a pre-dinner snack!

    When I entered your website, I already notice the changes. Great job! Simple and pretty.

    You can’t believe how much I love roasted almonds. When it is available on site, I tend to take a glob of it! I haven’t made mine myself. I probably should!

    Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Cristina. I’m so glad you like the new design. The photos are about the same size as they were, maybe a little smaller. I’ll pass on the kind words to the designer! Thanks again, and happy holidays to you.
