I am always a sucker for a good deal. This recently led to my purchase of a 3 POUND bag of almonds from Costco. The price was too good to pass up and almonds are a great source of protein. Below is a recipe for toasted almonds. This is a very loose recipe that you should feel free to improvise. Also, I use my nose more than anything to decide if the almonds are roasted enough. When your kitchen is filled with a very fragrant scent, the nuts are done.
Ingredients:
Almonds
Honey or Maple Syrup
Salt
Seasoning of your choice: cinnamon, cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, chili powder
Directions:
Heat oven at 350
On a cookie sheet, spread almonds out so that they are not overlapping
Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the almonds. You need less of this than you think because it will melt in the oven.
Stir almonds until evenly coated
Sprinkle with salt
Sprinkle with seasoning
Stir again if needed
Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally
When almonds are done baking, use a spatula to spread them out onto a greased piece of parchment paper and allow to cool. At this point I will taste one and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Enjoy!
