I believe this recipe originally came from allrecipes, although its so good I'd LOVE to say I created it myself...
Anyway, everyone knows by now how healthy almonds are, but if you're concerned about the sugar content in this recipe, substitute it with Stevia. Conversion amounts are on Stevia packaging...
Also, open up the ole' wallet and perhaps try Ceylon cinnamon instead of just bland old regular cinnamon. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Definitely. Better for you? Uh, only if you don't get stressed out over the cost of Ceylon cinnamon. It's a shocker :)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon cold water
4 cups whole almonds
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Lightly grease a 10x15 cookie sheet or jelly roll pan
Lightly beat the egg white; add water, and beat until frothy not stiff
Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated
Mix the sugar, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and then sprinkle over the nuts
Toss to coat everything and spread over the greased pan
Bake for 1 hour in preheated oven. Check occasionally and stir
Allow to cool and store nuts in airtight container.
Enjoy!
