Churro Almonds

Instant Pot is a one pot wonder that is so much more than just an electric pressure cooker. One of its awesome features is that you can saute straight in the Instant Pot.

This Saute function is great especially for users living in dorm rooms, RV, boats, on the road, traveling, or camping. Or those who simply don’t want to dirty many pots and pans.

And this recipe highlights this Saute function beautifully. But you can also easily make this on the stovetop if you wish. 🙂

Step 3

Serve Churro Candied Almonds

The cinnamon candied almonds will stick together once they are chilled.

So, try your best to separate and spread them apart and let them cool completely in a single layer on a parchment paper in a tray.

If you like, you can sprinkle some extra sugar on the parchment paper and on the Churro Almonds as you separate the almonds. This helps with the sticky situation. 😉
