Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw unsalted almonds (or substitute any other type of nut you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or substitute your preferred oil or vegan butter)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cloves

Instructions

  • Add the almonds, coconut oil, salt, cinnamon, and cloves to a large nonstick pan on the stove set to low-medium heat.
  • Cook for 5 minutes to toast the almonds, stirring constantly to ensure they don’t burn.
  • Add the maple syrup and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Transfer the almonds to a parchment paper lined baking tray or platter. Be sure they are spread out in a single layer.
  • Allow the almonds to cool for at least one hour before serving, then store them in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Storing these vegan candied almonds in the fridge as opposed to the pantry gives them a particularly crunchy and satisfying texture.
