Amazing 10-Minute Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds Recipe
If you are looking for a quick, crunchy and sweet snack, these Amazing 10-Minute Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds are perfect.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Almonds
- Place almonds in a mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over them. Mix well to coat evenly.
Add Sugar and Cinnamon
- Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and salt over almonds. Add vanilla if using. Stir until almonds are fully coated.
Spread on Baking Sheet
- Transfer almonds to the lined baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer for even roasting.
Bake the Almonds
- Roast in preheated oven for 8–10 minutes. Stir halfway to prevent burning. Watch closely—they roast fast.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from oven. Let almonds cool on the baking sheet. They become crispier as they cool.
Store for Later
- Once cool, store in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne for a sweet and spicy twist.
- Try other nuts like pecans or cashews using the same method.
- Make them vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt after roasting for a sweet-salty taste.
