Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground fennel seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground fennel seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is evenly combined.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until the almonds are completely coated with the glaze.
Step 4
Spread the glazed almonds out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring the almonds every 5 minutes to ensure even toasting. Be careful not to let them burn.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the glazed almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Step 8
Serve as a snack or sprinkle over salads for a flavorful crunch!
