With minimal prep and a handful of pantry staples, this recipe is a must-try for almond lovers looking for a quick, wholesome snack bursting with flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not piled on top of each other for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, stir the almonds gently to ensure even cooking, and return to the oven for another 8–10 minutes, or until the almonds are golden brown and aromatic. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool, giving them a crispy texture.
Break apart any clusters of almonds once fully cooled and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
