Ingredients

• 2 cups Raw almonds
• 1 cup Granulated erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated erythritol and water, stirring until the erythritol completely dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.

Step 4

Add the raw almonds to the saucepan, stirring continuously until they are well coated in the syrup mixture.

Step 5

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens and the almonds are fully coated and sticky, about 5-7 minutes. The syrup should reduce, but take care not to let it burn.

Step 6

Spread the coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Once done, remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchy as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, break apart any clumps and store the candied almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
