Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
Updated March 26, 2019
I am not a huge fan of shopping, especially during the holidays when the stores are packed with people. I do most of my shopping online. The one thing I miss is the smell of the roasted almonds from the little cart in the middle of the mall, you know the one I am talking about, right? I love that smell! I didn’t want to miss out on my favorite holiday smell, so I created my own cinnamon roasted almonds at home this year.
I don’t know why I haven’t made these before. They are so easy and the perfect holiday “perfume” for your house. They roast in the oven for about an hour-you can wrap presents, decorate the tree, hang the stockings, or just relax with your favorite holiday film while they roast. Don’t go too far though, they need to be stirred every once in awhile.
Give Cinnamon Roasted Almonds as a gift this year-package them in tissue paper or a little bag and tie them up with pretty ribbon. Almonds are good for you and make the perfect snack.
Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 2 cups whole almonds
- 3 Tablespoons white sugar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Beat the egg white and water until frothy with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the almonds, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugars, salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the nuts. Stir the nuts until they are well coated. Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Roast the almonds for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Your house will smell amazing!
- Allow to cool, then store in airtight containers.

Maria I love the new site!! Congratulations it’s beautiful!
These almonds look amazing. What a great idea to make them at home and even better to gift them!
I’m not a huge fan of shopping either, did a lot online this year. The crowds/people make me crazy! 🙂
YUM! These look fantastic. They’re inspiring me to make my own honey sesame covered cashews (since we’re almost out of the ones we got from TJs over Thanksgiving in Nashville!!). The malls freak me out around Christmas! I try to get all my shopping done at least two weeks before if I can. Hope you’re having a good week.
That smell of roasted nuts gets me every time. They even had those little carts in Brazil! I just got a great deal on a bag of walnuts so I have a ton. I wonder if they would hold up to some seasoning like this. These look great!
The site looks nice!
These look delicious! We don’t have a roasted almond cart in our mall. I think I’m seriously missing out! 🙂
Oh my gosh, they look so good! Great photos–they really show off the almonds! I agree–spiced nuts are incredibly easy to make, which I didn’t realize until just last week.
And also–thanks for the shout-out. 🙂
These are sooooo yummy. I eat them all.
Cinnamon Roasted Almonds are the BEST! As a child I would get my winter stash from my ‘adopted grandmother’ (next door neighbor). Then as a college student working in the malls during the holidays they would have the kiosks set up making them. The aroma is fantastic! Have not had them in a long while. Perhaps something to try this weekend! Cheers!
Peas Out!

Those look fabulous!
yum! cinnamon nuts are delicious! love the photos! 🙂
i am making these to take to our party at my grandmother’s this weekend! i needed just a little extra something… this is it! thanks sweet girl! 🙂
What a great idea! I’ve only tried smokehouse almonds before, but cinnamon sounds even better.
Love your new design!
Lovely idea! Although I don’t know that any would actually be given as gifts. My family would probably hoover them all down.
Look at you and your .com. Very cool!!!
And these would make a perfect gift. They look awesome!
Maria,
I like the new look! Very nice!
I want some of these to nibble on right this second!!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this recipe! I’m going to have to make it right away – it’s the perfect thing for this cold and wet weather we’re having right now.
Maria, the new site looks fab and all the delicious food can still be found here. Spiced nuts like these are a fave for the winter nights.
I love that little cart in the mall with the roasted nuts! These almonds sound delish. I usually make a sweet and spicy nut mix for the Christmas time, but now I’ll have to make these too.
Those nuts look so good!
I love your new site!
Cheers,
Rosa
Those look divine!
I contacted Thomas Dawson about making over my blog after seeing yours, just thought I’d let you know! Thanks!
OOO these sound like a great holiday gift!!!
Love the new site, good job! Those nuts look delish, our mall does not have nuts, but I remember as a child they did, smelled wonderful!
Good luck in this new host and with your new site Maria!
The roasted almonds with cinnamon are one of my favorite snack 🙂
All the best,
Gera
I LOVE the new look to your blog!!!! Cinnamon nuts are some of my fav!
Yum. Why am I doing all this baking when these would be perfect for treat gifts? Oh yeah, the baking is fun and yummy, too! 😉
Love the new look!
I can’t make those. I’ll have not a shred of self-control.
I love those roasted nuts. Actually it is my cousin who does the Totally Nutz in the malls in SLC every Christmas season. It is such a great job for them. They work tons of county fairs for 3 months in the summer and a few weeks in the winter. The rest of the time they get to enjoy life. Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to give it a try. Hey also I need some hints on how to get your photos accepted by tastespotting.com. I can’t quite get it right. Thanks
I think you read my mind, Maria, or maybe I am psychic but just before this, I was in the kitchen making cookies with nuts, had some leftover, and thought I should do some kind of cool nuts! I am so gonna do it!
They look so tasty Maria – I love anything with cinnamon.
OOOhh, instantly addictive!
Waht a wonderful gift idea! Love it…and the house will smell like Christmas as a bonus. Thanks!
These look delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I’ve printed it off and will give it a try. Love the idea of the house being filled with a roasted almond aroma!
I love any kind of roasted nuts. Nice picture. Following you on twitter!
I’m sitting here eating smoked almonds as I type this and thinking how much I’d rather have those cinnamon roasted almonds instead….YUM!
Great new digs, now lets dig into some nuts! GREG
I haven’t tried roasted almonds but I’d definitely love to try these. I’m with you, I hate shopping when it’s crowded. I try to go first thing in the morning before everyone it out.
Loooove the new site! These nuts look so good and perfect for the season.
I adore yummy nuts! I haven’t tried them with cinnamon, sounds perfect!
Delicious! I love nuts, and roasted sounds even better!
Oh they look so good and crunchy!
Yum! These look fantastic. I love the smell of cinnamon roasted almonds. I will have to whip some of these up this weekend!
I love these! It reminds me of the nuts I can buy in the mall at my brother’s home in Indianapolis!
LOVE these….I don’t have a shut off/close mouth button when it comes to Cinnamon Roasted Almonds!
Wow, these almonds sound wonderful with cinnamon! I must make these for my daughter, she really loves almonds!
these are the types of things that i’m scared to make because i know once they’re done, i’m not going to be able to stop eating them…worth the risk though!
Oh my gosh! These look so yummy and so easy to make. You’re awesome Maria!
Have been craving nuts all day – glad to see this recipe!
Maria your new site is so pretty and I love its sleekness, very attractive to me! I also enjoyed reading your about page, I learned so much about you and Josh. I want to thank you for the gift idea post you made too, so many great ideas!
Oh, I agree about the on-line shopping and the nuts. I can almost smell them now . . . I should make some and get the wonderful aroma goin’ in my house. Your blog really is beautiful.
I recently made something similar to this, but I might just have to make these to compare! Not to mention I am already out of the other ones 😉
Great picture of the nuts tumbling out of the cup. I too love the smell of the roasting nuts while shopping!
My ultimate snack,yum!
YUM! A perfect party food.
Hi
Can these almonds be frozen after they are baked, if so, how long.
Made these this week… YUM! Even better… I used them to make homemade cinnamon almond butter. I processed them in the food processor with a little maple syrup and a little canola oil. SO good. On toast, it works like dessert!
Carly-I will have to try making cinnamon almond butter. Sounds delicious! Thanks for the idea!
I’m so excited to see this recipe! I *LOVE* these at the mall and they are my mom’s favorite; I always buy a package for her. Can’t wait to make them this year!
these do make a great idea for a gift! my friends would love that.
Simple, delicious snacks are great for the holidays – thanks for this one!
What mall in atlanta sells these
Thank you for posting this recipe! My grandma used to make these and when she passed away 13 years ago I was given her recipe box. Imagine my dismay when I discovered her “recipe” was not in the box. In fact it was no to be found any where in the house. Upon making them I discovered these taste EXACTLY like hers!! Thank you so very much for helping to revive one of our family traditions!!
You are very welcome! Enjoy!
munching on these right now as i type! 🙂 these are so delicious, hubby and i got some bad news recently so i made these tonight to cheer him up as they are one of his all time favorite snacks and insists on buying some whenever we go to the mall, he’s a much happier hubby now! 😀 thank you!
I made these the other night–they taste just like the almonds that they sell at fairs, sporting events, etc., and then package in those pink and purple paper cones. These are phenomenal! I got a stomach ache from eating so many straight out of the oven–so worth it though! Thanks, Maria–you’re a culinary genuis! Keep it up!!! 🙂
I amke these every holiday…wonderful. I always make at least a double batch and have to hide them away so I don’t eat them all myself!
I made these last night and they were good, but most of the cinnamon and sugar fell right off them. How do you get the maximum cin/sug coverage?
Do you have eggless version of this recipe.
thanks!!
Can I just ask the T measurements is that tablespoons or teaspoons?
Tablespoons! I updated the recipe so it is more clear! Thanks!
Q: was that 250F or 250C.
I left it on 250 C and it was all burnt within 15 min 🙁
250 F
I tried this an gave away as Christmas gifts. Friends said they are yummy. But they are not as crunchy as I thought they should be. Why, oh, why? 😛
Thanks for the recipe! My dad is a vegan. What would you recommend to replace the egg white? Thanks!
Thanks it looks good to me.
easy to make and the taste is so good
