Sugared Almonds turn a salad, dessert, or simple snack into something extra special. They’re so good and so easy to make! I like to double or triple this recipe to make extra, so I’ve always got a batch in the freezer for later use. These are so addicting—you have been warned!

Easy Recipe for Sugared Almonds
I love how easy this sugared almonds recipe is—it’s one of my go-tos! They turn out perfectly every time, and I always make a big batch so I can stash some in the freezer. There are so many ways to use them, from topping salads to snacking straight from the jar.
I love adding sugared almonds to my salads to add extra crunch, extra flavor, and just a hint of sweetness, but they also taste great mixed into brownies, cookies, or sprinkled on top of ice cream or yogurt.
Sugared Almonds Recipe (How to Make Sugared Almonds)
Ingredients
- ½ egg white
- 1 tsp water
- 1 cup slivered almonds see note
- ⅓ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
- Mix the egg white and water together.
- Add the almonds and stir until well coated.
- Add half the sugar and mix well.
- Spread the almonds onto the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes; then take out of the oven, stir and return to continue baking.
- Bake an additional 8-10 minutes until the almonds turn light golden and become fragrant. Watch them carefully the last couple of minutes—nuts will burn quickly.
- Once golden, remove from the oven, lift the parchment paper off the pan, and cool the almonds on a rack. (If left on the cookie sheet to cool, the almonds might burn.)
- Serve and enjoy.
Becky’s Tips
- I used slivered almonds, but you can use this same technique on any type of nut.

How to Make Sugared Almonds Step by Step
Get the oven going and line a baking sheet: Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
Combine the egg and water: Mix ½ egg white and 1 tsp water together. Add 1 cup of almonds and stir until well-coated. Add half the sugar and mix well.
Transfer to pan: Spread the almonds onto the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the last ½ of the sugar.
Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, then take out of the oven, stir the almonds, and return them to the oven. Bake until the almonds turn light golden and become fragrant.
Cool: Remove from the oven, lift the parchment paper off the pan, and cool on a cooling rack.
How to Store
Once the almonds have cooled, you can store them in any container or resealable bags. They last quite a while at room temperature, but you can also freeze big batches to use later.
Serving Suggestions
Sugared almonds have so many uses! I love them as a healthy (yet sweet) topping on my strawberry salad, a fun dessert to sprinkle over pumpkin ice cream, or to add a sweet crunch to homemade brownies. The possibilities are endless!
Delicious!
