Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Toss almonds with frothy egg white and vanilla until evenly coated.
- 2
Mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss coated almonds in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 3
Spread in a single layer on parchment. Air fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking every 3-4 minutes.
- 4
The coating looks wet when hot — it hardens into a candy shell as it cools.
- 5
Cool completely on parchment before breaking apart. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Low temperature is essential — sugar burns fast at high heat. The egg white is the secret; it creates the candy shell that makes these addictive. Be patient during cooling — they crisp up.
