Scale
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain raw almonds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes to ensure it is ready for roasting the almonds evenly.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, smoked paprika, salt, white vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss them thoroughly to coat all the almonds with the seasoning mixture.
- Air fry the almonds: Arrange the seasoned almonds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry them at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Shake and continue cooking: After 5 minutes, shake the basket well to redistribute the almonds. Continue air frying, checking every minute, for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the almonds are roasted to your preferred doneness.
- Cook in batches if needed: If your air fryer basket is not large enough to hold all the almonds in a single layer, cook them in batches to ensure even roasting.
- Cool and serve: Transfer the roasted almonds to a bowl and allow them to cool completely before serving to enhance their crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to shake the basket periodically during cooking to ensure even roasting.
- Allow almonds to cool completely to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- You can adjust the seasoning according to taste, adding more or less paprika, salt, or oil if desired.
- Store cooled almonds in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
