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.
Ingredients1x2x3x
- ▢ 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!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.

So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
