Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium-size, non-stick skillet, combine erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and water. Stir over medium heat until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Once the mixture is smoothly combined, increase the heat to medium-high and add the raw almonds to the skillet. Stir continuously to coat almonds evenly with the mixture.
Step 4
Continue cooking and stirring for about 7-8 minutes until the liquid mostly evaporates and the syrup starts crystallizing on the almonds. Be careful not to let them burn.
Step 5
Once the almonds are well-coated, transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out evenly to cool slightly.
Step 6
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes to make them extra crunchy. Stir the almonds once after about 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet – they will continue to harden as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, break apart any almonds that are stuck together and serve or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
