Erin Oprea's Oil-Free Sauteed Almonds

By loves2bake

Ingredients

• 1 6 oz bag sliced almonds
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 T maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Cook just the almonds in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly brown. Stir in the salt and cook until the almonds are fully brown. Stir in the maple syrup- and keep stirring, as it will start to bubble and can burn quickly. Pour the almonds on a plate to cool.

Note: This recipe also works with chopped pecans.

Note: Add 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper for some kick-or a lot more for a real punch.
