Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, bring the apple cider vinegar to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to concentrate the vinegar flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the raw almonds, ensuring they are fully submerged in the vinegar. Let the almonds soak for about 10 minutes to absorb the tangy flavor.
Drain the vinegar from the almonds using a sieve or a strainer, allowing them to release any excess vinegar.
Transfer the strained almonds to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder, and toss the almonds until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Store the cooled almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
