Ingredients
- 2 cups raw whole almonds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chipotle powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, olive oil, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne if using.
- 3
Add almonds to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- 4
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5
Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the glaze has caramelized and the almonds are golden.
- 6
Remove from oven. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- 7
The almonds will look wet when first out of the oven but will crisp up as they cool.
- 8
Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Pro Tips
💡
Spread almonds in a single layer on the pan after tossing with the glaze - overlapping causes them to steam instead of roast.
💡
Watch the oven carefully in the last 5 minutes - the maple syrup can go from caramelized to burnt fast.
💡
Let cool completely before storing - any residual heat causes condensation and makes them soggy.
