How To Make Air Fryer Honey Roasted Almonds

Mixing raw almonds with honey, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until evenly coated.

Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F, for 3-5 minutes.

Step Two: In a small bowl, combine the raw almonds, honey, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper, and toss well to coat.

Air Fryer Honey Roasted Almonds Recipe Tips

  • Use parchment liners – They prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket – Spread almonds in a single layer for even roasting.
  • Shake halfway through – This ensures the almonds toast evenly on all sides.
  • Adjust sweetness – Add more or less honey or sugar to match your taste.
  • Let them cool completely – Cooling helps the coating harden and gives that perfect crunch.

Storing Instructions

Store cooled almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer freshness, keep them in the refrigerator, or freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.

Air Fryer Honey Roasted Almonds Recipe Faqs

Can I use other nuts instead of almonds? Yes! This recipe works well with cashews, pecans, walnuts, or even mixed nuts. Just adjust the cooking time slightly as some nuts toast faster.

How do I keep the almonds from sticking together? Spread them out in a single layer and stir or shake the basket halfway through cooking to prevent clumping.

Can I make this recipe without sugar? Absolutely. You can skip the sugar or swap it with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute for a lighter option.

How do I know when the almonds are done? The almonds should be golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook, as they can burn quickly in the air fryer.

Can I make them spicier? Yes! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a sweet and spicy kick.
