Curried Almonds Ingredients
A handful of ingredients, a short time in the oven, and sweet curried almonds can be yours! Here are the ingredients that you will need:
- Mix of raw almonds and Marcona almonds (or all regular raw almonds)
- Maple syrup
- Olive oil
- Coconut sugar
- Curry powder
- Red chili flakes
- Ground cinnamon
- Pure vanilla extract
- Sea salt
Can I use all raw almonds?
Yes. You can use two cups raw almonds in this recipe instead of a mix of raw and Marcona. This recipe uses a mix for a slight flavor and texture variation but it is not necessary.
What are Marcona almonds?
Marcona almonds are from Spain. They are a little more round and have a bit of a sheen to them. In terms of flavor, Marcona almonds are a little sweeter than the varieties here in the United States. You can purchase Marcona almonds raw or toasted with olive oil. For this recipe, if you can only find the olive oil-toasted kind, that will work just fine.
How do you store curried roasted almonds?
These roasted almonds should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
