Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw whole almonds
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almonds: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with melted coconut oil if using, maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure every almond is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 325°F (160°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes for consistent toasting.
  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 cooking to promote even browning and prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Set: Once toasted, transfer the almonds to a parchment-lined tray or plate to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up and lock in their crunch.

Notes

  • Ensure syrup and oil fully coat the almonds to avoid clumping and ensure uniform flavor.
  • Shake or toss the air fryer basket every 4-5 minutes to prevent burning and promote even cooking.
  • Watch almonds closely near the end as they can burn quickly.
  • Allow almonds to cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste before cooking.
