Skip buying the sugar-laden, honey-roasted nuts and opt for raw almonds for a healthier snack that you can take to the office. You can eat them raw, but toasting the almonds intensifies the nuttiness and gives them a better crunch.Courtesy of Karon Liu.

Provided by katiebecck

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Nuts and Seeds

Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ½ cups whole almonds
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.
  • Stir together the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right almonds: Look for raw, unsalted almonds for the best results. Salted almonds can be too salty when roasted, and roasted almonds can burn easily.
  • Use a variety of spices: The Southwest Spice Blend in this recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with other spices that you like, such as chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, or garlic powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the almonds, make sure to spread them out in a single layer. This will help them to roast evenly.
  • Roast the almonds until they are golden brown: This will take about 10-15 minutes, but keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Let the almonds cool before serving: This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

These Roasted Almonds with Southwest Spices are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads, trail mixes, or yogurt. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With a little experimentation, you can create your own unique blend of spices to create a truly delicious treat. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give these Roasted Almonds with Southwest Spices a try.
