Ingredients
Scale
Almonds
- 2 cups raw almonds
Coating
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat. This ensures the almonds will cook evenly and get nicely toasted.
- Coat the almonds: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with melted coconut oil, stirring to coat all the nuts thoroughly.
- Add spices and sugar: Sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt over the coated almonds. Stir well until each almond is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange almonds for air frying: Spread the coated almonds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
- Air fry the almonds: Cook the almonds for 10 minutes at 350°F. Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even toasting.
- Cool before serving: Once done, remove the almonds and let them cool completely. This step helps them crisp up and enhances their flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
- Allow the almonds to cool completely before storing to maintain crunchiness.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar amount or substitute it with a sugar substitute.
- Store the cooled almonds in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
