Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 2 minutes to ensure even roasting.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain almonds, smoked paprika, salt, white vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well until the almonds are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
