Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almonds: In a large bowl, combine the raw almonds with olive or coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure every almond is evenly coated with the sweet cinnamon mixture.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 325°F (163°C) and let it preheat for about 3 to 5 minutes. This ensures even roasting and a perfect crunch.
  3. Air Fry the Almonds: Spread the coated almonds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting without burning.
  4. Cool and Enjoy: Once the almonds turn golden brown and become aromatic, transfer them to a plate or baking sheet to cool completely. This helps them crisp up further. Enjoy immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Toss almonds thoroughly with wet and dry ingredients for uniform coating.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to promote even cooking.
  • Shake or stir the basket halfway through cooking to prevent burning.
  • Watch closely during the last minutes as nuts can burn quickly.
  • Allow almonds to cool outside the air fryer to set crunch and flavor.
