Notes

  • I prefer using whole almonds instead of sliced almonds in this recipe.
  • When developing this recipe, I chose spices that I personally like. However, please don't feel like you have to use the same exact spices that I used.
  • Store in a jar and enjoy when you're craving a crunchy, healthy snack.
