Ingredients
To make these Maple Roasted Salted Almonds you will only need 4 staple ingredients:
- raw dry almonds; don’t use roasted almonds or blanched almond for this recipe, but the dry almonds with the skin on will work best
- salt
- maple syrup
- olive oil
If you want to also do the crunchy sugary topping, you will need:
- sugar
- salt
- cinnamon
And that’s all the ingredients you need! Now, if you have 15 minutes, this is how you make the recipe:
How to make these Maple Roasted Salted Almonds
Start by preheating your oven to 165°C / 330°F so it’s ready to go. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Now on to the almonds – add the dry almonds to a bowl, then simply add the olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine until the almonds are thoroughly coated, then place them on the prepared baking tray in a single layer.
Roast the almonds for about 12 minutes, or until they start to caramelize. Watch them closely so they do not burn.
Once roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool down completely. The almonds will firm up and get crunchier as they cool.
Once the almonds are cooled, prepare the topping: to a large bowl, add the sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the roasted almonds and toss to combine.
That’s it!
Serving
These Maple Roasted Salted Almonds are a perfect Christmas snack, so just add them to a small bowl and snack away.
But be careful! They are addictingly delicious and you will find it hard to stop snacking 🙂
Storage
Store the roasted almonds on the counter in an air-tight container. They will easily keep two weeks… if you don’t eat them first.
