    Looking for a new snack? One that is quick and easy but more importantly everyone will love. I found it, Air Fryer Chocolate Roasted Almonds. It only takes a few minutes to make, the right amount of sweetness, crunch, and the chocolate flavor will make you want to have more.

    Why I love creating our own roasted Almonds in the air fryer

    It all started a few weeks ago at the grocery store. The kids were asking if they could get this new roasted mixed nuts bag. It was a new semi-sweet mix that looked really good, can’t blame them. They like to grab almonds or mixed nuts as a quick snack before heading out to play or with their lunch. I looked at the ingredients, unfortunately, had to say no. It wasn’t just a lot of sodium but all the other ingredients that you don’t find in your kitchen. We want flavors, not salt. Since my last few trails have been a success, I thought I give a semi-sweet a shot. We are all glad I did.

    When doing our own roasted nuts we start with raw nuts or if not available lightly salted, in this case, almonds and we add the flavors that we want. You will be surprised how little you need.

    • 5 tablespoons cacao powder, divided
    • 1 tablespoon honey

    Notes

    • If using slightly salted almonds, omit the 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

    Baker’s note

    skills

    When roasting almonds in the air fryer it is important to shake the basket every 3 minutes. This will make for a more even roasting

    Keep the almonds into an air tight container for 4 to 5 days.
