Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium-size, non-stick skillet, combine erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and water. Stir over medium heat until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Once the mixture is smoothly combined, increase the heat to medium-high and add the raw almonds to the skillet. Stir continuously to coat almonds evenly with the mixture.
Continue cooking and stirring for about 7-8 minutes until the liquid mostly evaporates and the syrup starts crystallizing on the almonds. Be careful not to let them burn.
Once the almonds are well-coated, transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out evenly to cool slightly.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes to make them extra crunchy. Stir the almonds once after about 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly.
Remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet – they will continue to harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break apart any almonds that are stuck together and serve or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
