Sugar Spiced Almonds

I made these for a yummy snack to eat on New Year's Eve. These are not your typical candied nuts-- the combination of spices is super good. Give these a try!

1 egg white + 2-3 t. cold water
1/2 c. sugar
1 3/4 t. cayenne pepper
7/8 t. garlic salt
7/8 t. chili powder
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
3 1/2 c. almonds

Put the almonds in a big ziploc bag. Beat the egg white and combine with the cold water, then pour in the bag and shake to coat the nuts.
Mix the spices in a small bowl before pouring in the bag and shaking again to coat.
Grease a rimmed cookie sheet or line with foil. Preheat oven to 250.
Spread almonds in a single layer on pan and roast in the oven for an hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. Cool on pan before storing in an airtight container.
