Title: Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

Ingredients:
– 2 cups whole almonds
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almonds, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Toss everything together until the almonds are evenly coated with the mixture.
3. Spread the almond mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for about 15-20 minutes, stirring them halfway through to ensure they roast evenly.
5. The almonds are ready when they are fragrant and golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the almonds cool completely. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
7. Once cooled, transfer the Cinnamon Roasted Almonds to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks, but we doubt they’ll last that long with their irresistible flavor!
