Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until the almonds are completely coated with the glaze.
Spread the glazed almonds out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
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.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the glazed almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Serve as a snack or sprinkle over salads for a flavorful crunch!
