We love a good sweet and salty snack!

This sugar-free version of roasted spiced almonds will satisfy your keto snack cravings with the perfect combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweetener! Not to mention, they’re also easy to make and so YUMMY.

You’ll love this idea, and I doubt anyone will even know they’re sugar-free unless you tell them! Not only do these roasted spiced almonds taste great, but they’re also simple to bake in the oven. Plus, they make your home smell AMAZING—what a perfect treat!

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making sugar-free roasted spiced almonds:

    • You can use your favorite keto-approved sweetener by referencing our keto sweeteners & conversion guide. I used 1/2 cup of Swerve granular and loved how they turned out with such a yummy taste and texture! Feel free to use more if you like things extra sweet, but I felt like 1/2 cup is the perfect amount.
    • When these candied spiced almonds first come out of the oven, they will be sticky initially, but don’t worry, after cooling for about 15 minutes, the coating will harden.
    • Need a thoughtful holiday gift? Consider making a few batches and giving them to friends as a homemade and delicious gift idea!

This is crunchy candied spiced almond heaven!

Once your spiced almonds cool for a bit out of the oven, they become super crunchy. I love the cinnamon sugar taste. I think this is such a genius way to enjoy a traditional holiday treat or snack while sticking to a keto lifestyle!

    I am looking forward to making these, once I can allow more carbs into my daily totals. Could this recipe be adapted to add a little heat. If so, what would I add (cayenne?) and how much?

  2. Sheree

    I’ve made these 4 times now. The first time I burnt them in my oven. Second one I only baked for 15 mins and didn’t turn them. Third time was in an electric oven burnt them again @20 mins turning once. Forth time 15 mins and no turning. Hope this helps someone else. I wasted $10 on pecans ugh! Live and learn. Oh and it was @325 all 4 times.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      I’m so sorry this didn’t work out for you. We appreciate your honest feedback, Sheree!

  3. Annie Wise

    The flavor is fantastic, but mine are still sticky. I made/baked/stirred as directed – even put them back in for an additional 8 minutes. Any suggestions? My husband is still enjoying them regardless!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hey Annie! ๐Ÿค— These will be sticky, however once they completely cool the coating should harden. Super glad to hear how yummy the flavor is and that your husband is enjoying them! ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ

  4. Melissa

    The turned out perfectly! Thank you for this healthy, quick treat.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yay! You’re so welcome, Melissa! Thanks for letting us know how great they turned out for you! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ
