Air Fryer Roasted Almonds
Description
This recipe outlines roasting raw, skin-on almonds in an air fryer preheated to 350°F (180°C) or alternatively in a conventional oven at the same temperature. Cooking in small batches and turning the almonds halfway through ensures uniform color and texture. The almonds develop a roasted aroma and a golden-brown surface while retaining a satisfying crunch.
The roasted almonds have a slightly soft texture while warm but harden as they cool. Careful monitoring towards the end of roasting prevents burning due to the quick color change with nuts. These almonds serve well as a snack or as a crunchy addition to dishes.
For best results, allow almonds to cool completely in a single layer before storing in an airtight container. The recipe notes the Freestyle SmartPoints value for portion control. Use only raw almonds with skins for optimal flavor and texture in this preparation.
