Toasted Sesame Almonds

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking and ensure even baking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, ground cayenne, and white sesame seeds.

3. Prepare Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, beat one large egg white with soy sauce until the mixture is even.

4. Coat Almonds with Egg Mixture

Add unsalted almonds to the egg mixture, stirring well to ensure each almond is coated.

5. Combine Almonds with Dry Mix

Sprinkle the sugar and sesame seed mixture over the almonds and mix thoroughly, ensuring that all almonds are well coated.

6. Bake the Almonds

Spread the coated almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking. They are ready when golden and fragrant.

7. Drizzle with Sesame Oil

After baking, while the almonds are still warm, drizzle them with toasted sesame oil to add a rich, nutty flavor.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a bowl or jar, breaking apart any clusters. Serve as a snack or store for later enjoyment.
