Description

This Best Cinnamon Roasted Almonds recipe delivers irresistibly crunchy almonds coated in a warm, sweet cinnamon spice blend. Perfect as a healthy snack or a festive treat, these roasted almonds combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla for a delightful flavor twist. The almonds are roasted in the oven to achieve a golden, fragrant crunch that is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

Almonds

  • 2 cups Whole Almonds (raw, unblanched)

Spices & Sugar

  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (pinch)

Other

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until fully liquid, ensuring it doesn’t burn or brown.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the whole almonds with the melted butter, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well to make sure every almond is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Arrange Almonds: Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spreading them allows even roasting and promotes crispness.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 15 to 18 minutes. Stir the almonds halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking and avoid burning.
  6. Cool: Once roasted to a golden color and fragrant, remove the almonds from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely for at least 10 minutes. Cooling helps them crisp up perfectly.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy the cinnamon roasted almonds as a snack immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the almonds halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate cleanup.
  • Store cooled almonds in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to your taste preferences.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
