Steps

  1. Position an oven rack in the center position and preheat it to 250ºF (121ºC). Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray (alternatively, you can line with foil, parchment, or a silicone baking mat and spray). Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl with a handheld mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg white on high until frothy (you don't need to look for any peaks, just lots of white bubbles). Add the vanilla extract and beat again just to combine.
  4. Pour the almonds into the egg white and vanilla mixture, then stir with a large spatula to coat. Add the sugar mixture and stir again until almonds are coated mostly evenly (this won't be perfect).
  5. Spread the coated almonds out in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the almonds for 1 hour, stirring gently every 15 minutes. Allow almonds to cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack before serving (can be served warm or at room temperature). Candied almonds stay fresh covered tightly at room temperature up to 2 weeks. They also freeze well, up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and then freeze in an airtight container. When you want to thaw them, remove them from the container and allow them to thaw in open air to avoid them getting soggy.
