We’ve tried several recipes for honey almonds. This is a combination of many experiments. This recipe is the best we’ve tried and we think you’ll agree. Easy and not too sticky. Note: the bulk of this recipe came from the lemons and anchovies blog.
Ingredients for honey roasted almonds:
2 1/2 cups raw almonds 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper 3/4 tsp kosher salt 1/4 cup honey 1/8 cup raw sugar
How to Make the best roasted almonds:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. 1. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix 3/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/8 cup raw sugar.
Melt honey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat just until it’s liquidy.
Add almonds and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Mix until almonds are coated. Remove from heat.
Spread nuts in a single layer over the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F.
Remove from oven and let almonds cool on the counter 5 minutes, then toss them in the raw sugar/salt mixture.
Place the almonds back onto the baking sheet or on the parchment paper and let them cool completely.
Now enjoy them. I wish we hadn’t eaten them up so quickly!
