So it turns out that everyone in my house is a little hooked on my air fryer recipe for roasted almonds. We all LOVE nuts. Each and every one of us, right down to the dog.
No kidding. I mean, have you seen a big ole pit bull who loves roasted almonds before? I haven’t!
I generally keep a mason jar filled with these easy roasted almonds on the kitchen counter in case we have a snack attack. No one is pleasant when hangry.
This recipe is dedicated to defeating the hanger.
Tips + tricks
No. 1 –> Buy your nuts in bulk. Nuts ain’t cheap, but they are delicious, so stock up!
No. 2 –> Start checking your almonds for doneness around 12 minutes in the Actrify and 6 or so minutes in a conventional air fryer.
No. 3 –> You’ll know they are done when they have hardened slightly but remain chewy in the middle. As they cool, they will get completely crunchy.
No. 4 –> If you wait till they are crunchy throughout – they’ll be burnt!
How to make
- Add almonds and coconut oil to air fryer
- Cook for 6-8 minutes for a conventional air fryer, and 10-12 minutes in an Actifry.
- Transfer to a paper towel to absorb extra oil
- Cool on a wire rack, then transfer to an airtight jar
- ENJOY!
How to store
Allow almonds to cool fully before transferring to an air-tight storage container. Your almonds should keep at least a week in a proper container. I love using mason jars for storage purposes.
How to use
Roasted almonds are a super way to incorporate flavour and crunch to your diet. These almonds are great:
- in salads
- in wraps
- as a snack
- as part of trail mix
- in roasted almond butter!
Roasting other nuts
Looking to roast pecans, cashews, or other nuts in your air fryer? This method works for all of them! Take care to check the nuts often, so they don’t get burnt.
Recommended tools:
This recipe relies on the current appliance craze – the air fryer.
I’ve had an Actifry for years, but we recently upgraded to an Instant Vortex 6 Qt. I gotta say, it’s love. If you don’t have one, you should!
