Bake for 10-15 minutes, giving them a good stir after the first 5 minutes. Your almonds are ready when the colour is a few shades darker and they smell fragrant. Be careful to monitor them closely so they don't burn.

Air Fryer Instructions

Place almonds into a mixing bowl, then pour over honey and mix well to combine.

Place parchment or baking paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket, then spread almonds out on the paper in a single layer and sprinkle salt over the top.

Cook on 180C / 350F for 7-10 minutes, giving the almonds a good shake every few minutes, until they are a few shades darker and smell fragrant. Be careful to monitor them closely so they don't burn.

TOP TIPS

  • Watch your almonds closely as they cook. They can burn very easily.
  • It's ok if your almonds are a little soft as soon as you take them out of the oven. You'll find after 5 minutes of cooling they will be firm again.
  • Don't put the almonds in an airtight jar or containers until they are fully cooled.
  • Feel free to make more than one cup of almonds, just ensure they all fit on a single layer on the baking tray or cook on two baking trays.

Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka.

These is a great reference for roasting almonds, but the glavor is very underwhelming. They're more savory than sweet, despite the sugar finish. The almonds were perfectly roasted though and a small batch, so I'll try again, using half the salt and maybe more honey/sugar.
