I am not a huge fan of shopping, especially during the holidays when the stores are packed with people. I do most of my shopping online. The one thing I miss is the smell of the roasted almonds from the little cart in the middle of the mall, you know the one I am talking about, right? I love that smell! I didn’t want to miss out on my favorite holiday smell, so I created my own cinnamon roasted almonds at home this year.
I don’t know why I haven’t made these before. They are so easy and the perfect holiday “perfume” for your house. They roast in the oven for about an hour-you can wrap presents, decorate the tree, hang the stockings, or just relax with your favorite holiday film while they roast. Don’t go too far though, they need to be stirred every once in awhile.
Give Cinnamon Roasted Almonds as a gift this year-package them in tissue paper or a little bag and tie them up with pretty ribbon. Almonds are good for you and make the perfect snack.

Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 2 cups whole almonds
- 3 Tablespoons white sugar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Beat the egg white and water until frothy with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the almonds, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugars, salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the nuts. Stir the nuts until they are well coated. Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Roast the almonds for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Your house will smell amazing!
Allow to cool, then store in airtight containers.

Wow, these almonds sound wonderful with cinnamon! I must make these for my daughter, she really loves almonds!

these are the types of things that i’m scared to make because i know once they’re done, i’m not going to be able to stop eating them…worth the risk though!

I recently made something similar to this, but I might just have to make these to compare! Not to mention I am already out of the other ones 😉

Hi
Can these almonds be frozen after they are baked, if so, how long.
Reply
Made these this week… YUM! Even better… I used them to make homemade cinnamon almond butter. I processed them in the food processor with a little maple syrup and a little canola oil. SO good. On toast, it works like dessert!

Carly-I will have to try making cinnamon almond butter. Sounds delicious! Thanks for the idea!
I’m so excited to see this recipe! I *LOVE* these at the mall and they are my mom’s favorite; I always buy a package for her. Can’t wait to make them this year!

What mall in atlanta sells these

Thank you for posting this recipe! My grandma used to make these and when she passed away 13 years ago I was given her recipe box. Imagine my dismay when I discovered her “recipe” was not in the box. In fact it was no to be found any where in the house. Upon making them I discovered these taste EXACTLY like hers!! Thank you so very much for helping to revive one of our family traditions!!

You are very welcome! Enjoy!
munching on these right now as i type! 🙂 these are so delicious, hubby and i got some bad news recently so i made these tonight to cheer him up as they are one of his all time favorite snacks and insists on buying some whenever we go to the mall, he’s a much happier hubby now! 😀 thank you!

I made these the other night–they taste just like the almonds that they sell at fairs, sporting events, etc., and then package in those pink and purple paper cones. These are phenomenal! I got a stomach ache from eating so many straight out of the oven–so worth it though! Thanks, Maria–you’re a culinary genuis! Keep it up!!! 🙂

I amke these every holiday…wonderful. I always make at least a double batch and have to hide them away so I don’t eat them all myself!

I made these last night and they were good, but most of the cinnamon and sugar fell right off them. How do you get the maximum cin/sug coverage?
Reply
Do you have eggless version of this recipe.
thanks!!Reply
Can I just ask the T measurements is that tablespoons or teaspoons?
Reply
Tablespoons! I updated the recipe so it is more clear! Thanks!
Q: was that 250F or 250C.
I left it on 250 C and it was all burnt within 15 min 🙁Reply
250 F
I tried this an gave away as Christmas gifts. Friends said they are yummy. But they are not as crunchy as I thought they should be. Why, oh, why? 😛

Thanks for the recipe! My dad is a vegan. What would you recommend to replace the egg white? Thanks!
