1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

2. Whisk the egg white in a large bowl until frothy.
3. Add the almonds and vanilla extract to the bowl and stir to coat.
4. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5. Gradually sprinkle the sugar mixture over the almonds, stirring to evenly coat.
6. Spread almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even roasting.

Notes
Be sure to whisk the egg white until it's really frothy—this is key to helping the sugar coating stick.
Don’t skip the stirring while baking—it’s essential for even roasting and avoiding burnt sugar spots.
Let the almonds cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp texture.
