Honey Roasted Almonds

Honey roasted almonds are one of those snacks that disappear fast. The honey caramelizes in the oven and coats each almond in a thin, crunchy shell of sweetness. A pinch of salt balances everything out, and the whole process takes less than 15 minutes. Make a big batch because they will not last long.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups California almonds (raw)
  • 3 tbsp Duck River honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (optional)

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss the almonds with melted coconut oil, honey, salt, and cinnamon if using. Stir until every almond is coated.
  3. Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan. The coating will harden as it cools.

Notes

  • Let them cool fully before eating or storing. They will be sticky when warm but turn perfectly crunchy once cooled.
  • Try this same method with cashew pieces (raw) or pecan halves (raw).
  • Store in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 10 days.
