Cozy Baked Ginger Cinnamon Almonds: Easy Flavored Nut Recipe ✨🍂🧡
ingredients:
2 cups (about 280g) raw whole almonds
1 tbsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar (optional, for slight sweetness/glaze)
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
Optional: Pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg
directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the raw almonds, melted coconut oil, and optional maple syrup/agave. Toss well to coat the almonds evenly.
3. In a small separate bowl, mix together the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt, and any optional spices (cloves, nutmeg).
4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the coated almonds in the larger bowl. Toss again thoroughly until the almonds are evenly seasoned.
5. Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Roast for 12-18 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are fragrant, lightly toasted, and the spices are aromatic. Be careful not to burn them; check frequently towards the end.
7. Let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
8. Taste and add a touch more salt if needed. Store cooled roasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
