Almonds
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes to ensure even roasting.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain almonds with smoked paprika, salt, white vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to coat the almonds evenly with the seasoning.
- Air fry the almonds: Place the seasoned almonds in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 minutes at 350°F.
- Shake and continue cooking: After the first 5 minutes, shake the basket well to redistribute the almonds for even roasting. Continue air frying, checking every minute, for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the almonds are crispy and fragrant.
- Cook in batches if necessary: If your air fryer basket is small, cook the almonds in batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures even cooking.
- Cool and serve: Transfer the roasted almonds to a bowl and let them cool completely before serving. This allows them to crisp up further.
Notes
- Make sure to shake the basket at least once during cooking to prevent burning and promote even roasting.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly based on your specific air fryer model and almond size.
- Store cooled almonds in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
- You can experiment with different spices like cayenne pepper or garlic powder for varied flavor profiles.
