• 1 cup raw almonds Shop
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup Shop
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Ensure your raw almonds are ready to go.
2. 2 In a medium bowl, combine the raw almonds, olive oil, and maple syrup. Toss them thoroughly until each almond is evenly coated with the oil and sweetener, ensuring a good base for the seasonings.
3. 3 Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the coated almonds. Continue tossing for another minute until the seasonings are distributed evenly, creating a fragrant mixture.
4. 4 Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and develop a beautiful golden-brown hue, about 12-15 minutes.
5. 5 Once roasted, the almonds should be fragrant and slightly darkened. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to an airtight container, where they will stay fresh for up to 5 days.

Tips & Notes

• Stir the almonds halfway through roasting. Maple syrup can scorch on the side touching the pan.
• Watch them closely after 10 minutes. Almonds darken quickly once they start browning.
• Let them cool completely on the parchment. Maple-coated almonds are sticky when warm and turn crisp as they cool.
