Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. cayenne or paprika
  • ½ tsp. chaat masala optional

Instructions

  • Take 1 cup almonds. Lay them in the air fryer basket.
  • Make sure they are not overcrowded.
  • Air fry at 180C or 360F for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Your almonds will get evenly roasted and will be browned. Shake the basket midway.
  • Watch them after 3 minutes because they can burn very quickly.
  • Take them out and carefully empty out in a bowl.
  • They will be very hot.
  • Now assemble the seasonings. I add salt and cayenne to olive oil.
  • Now toss the hot off the air fryer almonds with the seasoning mix to coat well.
  • That’s it. Your roasted almonds are ready to eat.
  • Before storing, allow them to completely cool down, then store in an air tight jar.
  • They can last for a week. But mine never do because they finish off before that. Enjoy.

Notes

1. Don’t overcrowd: Lay out the nuts for even cooking. I can easily fit about 1.5 to 2 cups almonds at one go in my air fryer.
2. Shake the basket: Shake the basket midway for even roasting of nuts.
3. Time may vary: Air frying time may vary slightly depending upon the size and quality of your almonds and the model of your air fryer.
4. Toss with seasonings after air frying: If you apply seasonings before air frying, some spices may burn.
It is best to apply seasonings to hot roasted almonds.
5. I have not preheated the air fryer here. In case you do, your roasting time will reduce by a minute or two.
6. If you don't want to apply the seasonings, you can just roast the almonds and have them as is.
