Ingredients:
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 mL) whole natural almonds
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar

Preheat oven to 225 F (110 C).
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.
