Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon additional sea salt for topping
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and sea salt.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid mixture.
Cover the bowl and allow the almonds to soak for 2 hours at room temperature. This process infuses the almonds with the salt and vinegar flavor.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
After soaking, drain the almonds well and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the drained and dried almonds with the olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. The almonds should be golden brown and crisp.
Remove the almonds from the oven and while they are still warm, sprinkle them with the additional sea salt to taste.
Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or topping!
