Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Whisk the egg white in a bowl until frothy, add the vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
In another small bowl, mix together the sugars, salt and cinnamon.
Add the almonds to the egg white mixture and stir to coat.
Pour the sugar mixture on top of the almonds and stir to coat.
Coat a foil-lined baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and spread the sugar-coated almonds out in a single layer onto the sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes stirring halfway through.
Allow the almonds to cool and then enjoy!

Ensure Even Coating: To ensure that the almonds are evenly coated with the egg white and sugar mixture, stir them thoroughly after adding each ingredient. This ensures that all the almonds are coated with the mixture, resulting in evenly caramelized candied almonds with a consistent flavor and texture.
Monitor Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the almonds while they are baking to prevent them from burning. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking. Additionally, check the almonds frequently towards the end of the baking time, as oven temperatures may vary. The almonds are done when they are golden brown and fragrant.
Store Properly for Freshness: Once the candied almonds have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness. Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers of almonds to prevent them from sticking together. Stored in a cool, dry place, the candied almonds can last for several weeks, allowing you to enjoy them as a delicious snack or topping for salads, yogurt, or desserts.
