Ingredients
Scale
Almonds
- 2 cups raw almonds
Coating
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for evenly roasting the almonds.
- Mix Almonds and Oil: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with the melted coconut oil, stirring well to coat every almond thoroughly for even flavor and roasting.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt over the coated almonds. Stir the mixture until all the almonds are evenly coated with the cinnamon-sugar blend.
- Arrange in Basket: Spread the almonds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow air circulation and even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook the almonds in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure almonds roast evenly on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the almonds from the air fryer and let them cool completely. This step helps the coating to set and the almonds to become crunchy, ready for serving.
Notes
- Make sure to shake the basket halfway during air frying to prevent uneven roasting.
- Allow almonds to cool fully before storing to maintain crispness.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week for best freshness.
- Use raw almonds for best texture; pre-roasted almonds may become too dry.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar to taste for a sweeter or spicier snack.
