A delightful snack of almonds coated in a sweet and spiced glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking right from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes transferring the almonds easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the almonds and maple syrup to the bowl, stirring until the almonds are well coated.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the almonds while ensuring an even coating.
Spread the coated almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the almonds are in a single layer for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Keep an eye on the almonds to prevent burning; they should be golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Stir occasionally while cooling to prevent clumping.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
