INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg white (or homemade vegan egg substitute)
1 tablespoon water
1 pound (about 3 cups) Marcona or raw whole almonds, (see Tip)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 275F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. Whisk brown sugar, cumin, paprika, thyme, salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk egg white (or substitute) and water in a medium bowl until foamy. Add almonds and stir to coat; pour through a sieve to drain off excess egg white. 3. Transfer the almonds to the bowl of spices; stir well to coat. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet. 4. Bake the almonds for 30 minutes. Stir, reduce the oven temperature to 200F and bake until the almonds are dry and golden, about 30 minutes more. Let cool before serving, about 20 minutes.
