Perfect as a sweet snack or a fun treat to serve with drinks, it comes together with just a few simple ingredients and delivers an irresistible balance of crunch and sweetness. A real treat!\n\n\n\nTips for perfect caramelized almonds in the air fryer\n\n\n\nChoosing the almonds: Use whole almonds, with or without skin, depending on your preference. Unsalted almonds are ideal for this recipe.\n\n\n\nThe air fryer drumsticks are quick and delicious, just like the air fryer quiche.\n\n\n\nSpice variations: If you don\u2019t like cinnamon or vanilla sugar, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom.\n\n\n\nUsing sugar: White sugar gives a smoother, shinier result, while brown sugar adds a slightly deeper, more caramelized flavor. You can also use a mix of both.\n\n\n\nParchment paper: Make sure the parchment paper sits properly in the basket so the almonds don\u2019t stick, the caramel doesn\u2019t drip and burn, and the paper doesn\u2019t touch your appliance\u2019s heating elements.\n\n\n\nThe egg custard is another popular dessert made in the air fryer.\n\n\n\nEven mixing: Take the time to coat the almonds evenly in the liquid sugar mixture. This helps ensure even caramelization.\n\n\n\nMonitoring the cooking: Air fryers can vary in power. Check the almonds after 10 minutes to prevent them from burning. Stir gently halfway through cooking for even heat distribution.\n\n\n\nThe air fryer salmon is an absolute delight.\n\n\n\nCooling: Once the almonds are cooked, let them cool completely before handling them. The caramel will harden as it cools, giving the almonds their crunch.\n\n\n\nStorage: Once cooled, store the almonds in an airtight jar to keep them crisp. They keep well for up to a week.\n\n\n\nWhy not try some air fryer cookies?\n\n\n\nAdding texture: For a festive touch, add sesame or poppy seeds to the mixture before cooking.\n\n\n\nIndividual portions: For a lovely edible gift, divide the caramelized almonds into small bags and add a decorative label.\n\n\n\nCleaning tip: If the caramel sticks to the parchment paper, soak it in hot water to dissolve it easily.\n\n\n\nFor a sweet-and-salty twist: Add a pinch of fleur de sel after cooking for a delicious contrast of flavors.\n\n\n\nContributed by St\u00e9phanie Dpl from the site\u2019s official Facebook group\n\n\n\n\n\n\tAir Fryer Candied Almonds\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tair fryer\t\n\t\n\t\t200 g almonds3 tablespoons water3 tablespoons sugar (white or brown)1 packet of vanilla sugar (or cinnamon)\t\n\t\n\t\tPlace the almonds in a bowl.Add the water, sugar, and vanilla sugar, or cinnamon instead.Mix until the almonds are evenly coated.Spread the almonds on parchment paper in the air fryer basket.Air fry at 180\u00b0C for 15 minutes.\t\n\t\n\t\tFor deeper, more even caramelization, cook a little longer and stir halfway through.\n\t\n\t\n\t\tDessertFran\u00e7aise","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
