    Sugar cravings. We’ve all had ’em! Maybe you had a long morning of meetings, ate a quick lunch, and at 2 pm, you find yourself hankering for any bit of sweetness you can get your hands on. Or you rushed to work, grabbed a coffee and a pastry to go, and feel hungry an hour later.

    To prevent these scenarios, it’s best to eat balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, as often as you can. But what about when that’s not possible? Or when you are eating balanced meals, but still crave something sweet?

    Maybe it’s your time of the month, you’re pushing a deadline at work, or you just want a treat.

    Instead of denying yourself and overly restricting your food choices (doing so will only make you want that cookie even more), consider reaching for a sweet option that also gives you some nutrients, like these Maple Roasted Almonds!

    They’re salty, sweet, and can be made in just 20 minutes!! How’s that for a winning snack?!

    How to Make Maple Roasted Almonds

    I’m telling you,this is SO easy!

    1. Mix together raw almonds and maple syrup.
    2. Transfer to a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt.
    3. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

    Badabing, badaboom. Don’t you love it when recipes are actually as simple as they sound?

    Speaking of simple snacks (that are also sweet!), don’t forget to check out some of my other favorites while you’re here, like the Vegan Peanut Butter Cups with Pumpkin, Sweet Corn and Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bark, and Carrot and White Bean Vegan Blondies.

    In terms of storage, I highly recommend storing these almonds in a glass container in the fridge right away. This prevents them from getting sticky, and makes them easier to eat.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup raw almonds
    • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
    • Sea salt - to taste
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a small bowl, mix almonds with maple syrup until coated. Transfer to baking dish. Make sure almonds are not overlapping. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

    Notes

    • After you make these, store them in the fridge as soon as possible. They will get crunchier, and be less sticky on your teeth, by doing so.

      These sound delicious! Just to double check – it’s best to put them into the fridge straight from the oven? Or do they need to cool at all first? Thanks!

        Hi Ruth, good question! Typically I let them cool for 15 minutes or so before transferring to the fridge for storage.

      Made these several times now and yum! Had some smoked maple syrup too, which was really good. Thanks for an easy and delicious snack recipe.

      This may be a silly question, but how long do you put them in the fridge for to stop the stickiness? Or do you store them in there until ready to eat? Thank you!!!

        Hi Pearl! Not a silly question at all! I typically just store them in there until I’m ready to eat them, but I’ve found it usually takes about an hour or so for them to harden up and not be as sticky. Hope that helps!

      How timely! I accidentally bought (actually, Michael accidentally bought) a two-pound bag of raw almonds, instead of a two-pound bag of roasted almonds. I’m going to roast at least a pound of these with the maple syrup! Hope you’re having a blast in NYC!
