Ingredients

Scale

Almonds and Coating

  • 1 cup raw whole unsalted almonds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out raw almonds, cinnamon, sugar, butter (or coconut oil), and salt. Melt the butter or coconut oil in a mixing bowl to make it easy to combine evenly with other ingredients, ensuring each almond will be coated perfectly.
  2. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt to create a fragrant and flavorful spice blend for the almonds.
  3. Coat the Almonds: Add the raw almonds to the melted butter or coconut oil and stir until every almond is evenly covered. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the almonds and toss carefully to ensure all nuts have a sticky, even coating.
  4. Air-Fry the Almonds: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Spread the coated almonds in a single layer in the fryer basket without overlapping. Air-fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket every 3 minutes to toast almonds uniformly and prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Store: Transfer the roasted almonds onto a parchment-lined tray and spread out to cool completely. Cooling hardens the coating and enhances crunch. Store cooled almonds in an airtight container to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use raw almonds for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Shake the basket every few minutes while air frying to keep coating consistent and prevent burning.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness before or after air frying.
  • Cool almonds completely to allow the coating to harden and to maintain crunchiness.
