Enjoy these Maple Cinnamon Roasted Almonds that are a breeze to make and super delicious. These are a healthy comfort snack food made with only 5 ingredients in 20 minutes.

-1/4 cup maple syrup
-2 teaspoons butter
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:

Roast the almonds on a dry baking sheet for 10 minutes at 350 F. **Stir half-way through.

In the meantime combine maple syrup, butter, vanilla and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.

Heat on medium heat and bring just to a boil.

Add roasted almonds and stir to evenly coat all the almonds.

Line the baking sheet and spread out the coated almonds.

Return the baking sheet to the turned-off oven.

Crack the oven door open a little and let the almonds dry and cool in the oven. This makes for a nice and crisp coating.

Rosa Marrello lives in Lakeshore, Essex County with her husband and son who have become her main food critics since the inception of her food account on Instagram.

A retired school teacher as of June 2020, she has devoted some of her extra free time away from the classroom to educate and inspire her followers in the kitchen creating real basic meals.

Rosa participates in a few collaborations monthly, but one that is dear to her is the #monthlybakedwithlove. She donates her baked goods to local charities and citizens in her community to brighten their day.

All baked goods are made with love in hopes that whomever eats or samples her baked goods may feel LOVE — even if it’s for a brief moment in time. She metaphorically believes that the cookies are inspiring bites of hope and encouragement.

Rosa Marrello supports local businesses and eagerly helps them by promoting their products on social media.

She is adamant that supporting others creates connections — a quality she instilled often in her classroom — she often told her students to pay attention to those who are around them.

Heavily influenced by her Italian culture, her love of cooking came at a very young age and she is now eagerly enjoying her leisurely time cooking and recipe-tinkering.

Rosa loves to cook and entertain her family and friends in her kitchen, but when she is not in the kitchen, she enjoys travelling, live entertainment, reading, working out, taking long walks, listening to music, and having meaningful conversations with people.

Rosa believes that food brings people together — it’s a celebration of life and she loves living a tasty life.
