Description

Sweet and salty almonds with a hint of spice. The perfect crunchy snack for an energy boost!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cups (237 ml) slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Place the slivered almonds in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine the sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and ginger and mix well.
  4. Toss the almonds with the maple syrup until coated evenly, then add in the sugar mixture and toss to coat.
  5. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet in an even layer and transfer to the oven.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the almonds have browned.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  8. When cool, break up any crusted sugar and transfer the almonds to an airtight, sealed container for storage.

Notes

  • For a deeper maple flavor, use Grade A or B maple syrup.
  • To prevent burning, watch the almonds closely during the last few minutes of baking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
