How to Prepare Air Fryer Candied Almonds
For this recipe, I recommend using a disposable aluminum tray: pour in the almonds, sugar, and water.
Mix everything and cook for 10 minutes at 356°F. Stir the almonds and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, stirring a couple of times more, then remove from the air fryer.
If the almonds stick together, let them cool a bit and separate them with your fingers, then let them cool completely before eating.
Notes
Store the candied almonds in the pantry in a glass jar with a lid.
Check the cooking because times may slightly vary depending on the air fryer model used.
