If you like to have a delicious snack on the counter for guests, or if you enjoy making goodie bags for holidays or special occasions (hint hint Valentine’s Day is coming up), you’ll want to hang on to this recipe!
I gave these nuts and local raw honey as a Christmas gift at work, and they were a big hit (and, while they aren’t totally “healthy,” they are a great alternative to other junk food)!
The best part about these nuts is that you probably have everything you need to make them. I am tempted to say these could be the perfect snow day snack, but I think being stuck inside all day with these delicious nuts could be dangerous. Seriously, I have very little self control when it comes to these, a few nuts turns into handfuls easily.
Honey Roasted Almonds
Ingredients:
2 cups whole, raw almonds (I’ve tried this with pecans, and it was equally delicious, so I assume, really any nut will do)
1/4 cup honey (I used local raw honey)
2 tablespoons butter
kosher salt
1 cup turbinado sugar (“sugar in the raw”)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Spread almonds on a baking sheet. Roast in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes, stirring after about 7 minutes.
- Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, bring honey and butter to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add almonds; simmer and stir 2 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer almonds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread in single layer. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Cool slightly.
- Pour the sugar into a large Ziplock bag. Add the almonds, secure bag tightly, and shake until well coated with sugar.
