These Spicy Honey Roasted Almonds are not only a healthy snack but they are extremely easy to prepare. A hint of spice, a little sweetness and crunch make them perfect for cocktail hour, too.
Ingredients
2 - 2½ cups raw almonds
⅛ cup turbinado sugar
¼ cup honey
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. If using parchment, lightly oil it.
Combine the sugar and salt in a bowl large enough to accommodate the almonds and set aside.
Melt the honey in a large skillet over low to medium heat. Add the cayenne and the almonds and stir until all the nuts are coated with the honey and spice.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Let the almonds cool slightly and toss them in the sugar-salt mixture. Remove the parchment or wax lining from the baking sheet and spread out the almonds on it again to let them cool completely.
Transfer to a serving bowl and they're ready!
