Cinnamon Glazed Almonds

This recipe for Cinnamon Glazed Almonds is both quick and easy to make, and delivers a sweet and healthy snack or addition to salads.

These cinnamon glazed almonds are delicious! Almonds are such a great snack. In fact, almonds in all different flavors are heavily marketed at the store. These are easy enough to make at home. And they are a really lovely snack to display for guests (or for yourself). I think they’d make a nice gift too!

Ingredients needed:

ground cinnamon
ground allspice
salt
cayenne pepper
blanched whole almonds
granulated white sugar
butter


How to make Cinnamon Glazed Almonds:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
In a large skillet, combine the almonds, sugar and butter. Cook, stirring, over medium heat about 10 minutes, or until the sugar melts and turns a rich brown color. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the spice mixture. Quickly spread the almonds on the prepared pan.

Let the cinnamon glazed almonds cool completely, then break into small clusters or break them apart into single almonds.
How to blanch almonds:
If you cannot find almonds already blanched, it’s easy to blanch them yourself.


Bring a small pan of water to a boil.


Add almonds to the boiling water. Leave them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Set your timer!


Drain the almonds and rinse them with cold water to quickly cool them down.


Rub each almond between your fingers to remove its skin. The blanched almond should easily come away from the skin. Repeat with all of the almonds that you need blanched.
