Ingredients
-
-
⅛ tspsalt
-
1 pinchcayenne pepper (optional)
-
2 cups (286 g)raw almonds
-
2 Tbsp (16 g)raw sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, and cayenne.
- Then add in the nuts and toss to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking tray, and roast on the middle rack of the oven for 5 minutes.
- Then remove from the oven, add the sesame seeds, toss to coat, and roast for another 5 - 7 minutes, or until lightly golden. The nuts continue to cook a little after being taken out of the oven and the mixture may still look wet but it will harden as it cools. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts. If you prefer a distinct coconut taste, use unrefined coconut oil instead.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks.
- Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

I’m making an advent calendar of homemade gifts for my Mother in law, this is a perfect addition
Great combination! Not overly sweet, just right. I do make these on the stove, simply by heating a skillet with the syrup and coconut oil. When bubbles begin to form, I add the almonds and toast them for a couple of minutes. In the last minute or two, I add the sesame seeds (so they don't burn). Then I put the candied nuts on same parchement paper to harden.
Such a great recipe. Just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Now I need a video explaining how to stop eating finishing them off in one go <3
Amazing quick snack. Loved it. ❤❤❤
Hi!
Could I add a handful of cashews to this? Or other nuts and make it a sorta trail mix with seseme seeds?
Delicious, luxurious, very easy and festive as soon as you put them in a Christmas bowl ✨
Amazing simple and delicious recipe! I had mostly made Tamari almonds before, this is a really nice way to mix it up. My first try was without the cayenne pepper, but I think next time I'll be more daring :)
