Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 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
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
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
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
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.
