Ingredients

• 1/4 cup light brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon hot paprika

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 large egg white

• 1 tablespoon water

• 1 pound (about 3 cups) raw whole almonds

Directions

• Heat the oven to 275�F and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

• Mix the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and water until foamy. Add the almonds and stir to coat. Pour the mixture through a sieve to remove the excess egg white.
