Chocolate Chai Roasted Almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

In a large mixing bowl, add Raw Almonds (430 g), Pure Maple Syrup (4 Tbsp), Vanilla Extract (2 tsp), Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1 tsp), Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp), Ground Cardamom (1 tsp), Ground Ginger (1 tsp), Ground Cloves (1/2 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp). Mix to coat well.

On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled, spread almonds in a single layer. It’s ok if they’re touching each other.

Bake on center rake for 20 – 22 minutes, shuffling the almonds around once after 10 minutes.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with a few pinches of Mineral Salt (to taste) and let cool to harden. They may clump together a bit while cooling but will easily come apart.

Store in airtight container for up to a month. Enjoy!
