Honey & Spice Roasted Almonds image

SPICED ROASTED ALMONDS



Spiced Roasted Almonds image

Roasted nuts are standard snacks, and almonds are a healthy food. But it is easy to eat too many. I find that if they are a little spicy or hot, delicious as they are, they are not quite as addictive.

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups (about 20 handfuls)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups (about 400 grams) almonds
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the almonds with olive oil, salt and cayenne, and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the hot oven until they begin to crackle and smell toasty, 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful when you open the oven door because the capsicum in the cayenne is quite volatile, so avoid breathing in, and be careful of your eyes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Toss with the thyme.

3 cups whole almonds
1 egg white
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
Few drops of water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Add the almonds and toss to evenly coat with the egg white mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the sugars, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps. Add the almonds, and toss to coat. Spread the coated almonds out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 - 40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
