Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the almonds for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Remove the almonds from the oven. Drizzle the melted butter over the almonds and toss to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered almonds and toss again until they are well coated.
- Spread the coated almonds back into a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the sugar is caramelized and the almonds are toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchy as they cool.
- Once cooled, break apart any clumps and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can spread the cooled almonds on a wire rack for a few hours.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon and sugar ratio to your preference.
- These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to a week.
