Spicy Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sugar, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the mixture until they are well coated. Ensure every almond is covered with the sweet and spicy blend.
  4. Spread the coated almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This allows them to roast uniformly, providing a perfect crunch.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for about 15-20 minutes. Stir the almonds halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
  6. Once they are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar will harden as they cool, creating a delightful crunch.
  7. Once cooled, store your Spicy Cinnamon Roasted Almonds in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed for up to two weeks (if they last that long!).
