Ingredients
  • 1½ tablespoons Stevia brown sugar blend (like Truvia or Splenda) or 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar blend (or sugar or honey), sea salt, cayenne pepper, sugar-free syrup, and olive oil. Add the almonds and toss to combine.
