Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, combine the monk fruit sweetener and water, stirring until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sweet syrup.
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sea salt over the almonds, stirring continuously to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
Add in the vanilla extract and continue to stir until the mixture becomes thick and the almonds are well coated, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet, during which they will become crunchy.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the sugar-free candied almonds to an airtight container for storage.
