How to Make Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg white.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until the mixture is frothy but not stiff.
Add the whole almonds to the bowl.
Stir the almonds until they are well coated with the egg mixture.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the almonds.
Toss almonds in sugar and spice mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.
Then, spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared jellyroll pan.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake Cinnamon Roasted Almonds, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour or until the almonds are golden brown and no longer wet.
