Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon powdered salt substitute (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the raw almonds to the boiling vinegar mixture and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the almonds for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Drain the almonds using a fine mesh sieve, discarding the vinegar mixture. Allow the almonds to sit in the sieve to remove excess moisture for a few minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Transfer the almonds to a mixing bowl, add the olive oil, and toss to coat the almonds evenly.

Step 6

Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the powdered salt substitute evenly over the almonds for an extra punch of salty flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. The almonds should be lightly browned and fragrant.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, store the almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
