Nutmeg Free Cocoa Roasted Almonds

Cocoa-dusted, lightly sweet, and with just enough heat from a pinch of cayenne, these roasted almonds hit every note you want in a snack. The coating comes together with pantry staples — cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt — so there's no mystery about what's going into the bowl. Warm spice blends and pre-made snack mixes often sneak in nutmeg without much fanfare, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The egg white acts as a natural binder, locking that rich chocolate crust onto each almond so it crisps up beautifully as it cools. A single stir halfway through baking is all the attention they need, and the result is a deeply satisfying crunch that tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. They're equally at home in a party bowl, tucked into a lunchbox, or eaten by the handful straight off the baking sheet.
