Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, olive oil, and sea salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and stir thoroughly, ensuring each almond is evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Transfer the coated almonds to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and to ensure even caramelization.
Remove the almonds from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with the granulated sugar for added texture and sweetness. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet—they will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon and honey almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or salads!
