Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the chopped almonds and sugar.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture, then add the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
