Cinnamon Roasted Almonds Recipe - Healthy Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (can substitute with honey for a healthier option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg (optional for extra spice)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even roasting.
  2. Prepare Almonds

    In a mixing bowl, combine raw almonds, olive oil, sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.

    Mix well to ensure all almonds are evenly coated.
  3. Spread on Baking Sheet

    Spread the almond mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Ensure there's space between the almonds for even roasting.
  4. Roast Almonds

    Roast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Watch closely to prevent burning; almonds should be golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

    Allow them to cool completely to achieve the perfect crunch.
