Honey Roasted Almonds

We can’t do away with snacks from our daily diet. Our system needs some fillers between two meals to continue producing energy, and our taste buds need something yummy to munch on! We keep veering towards chips, soft drinks, burgers, fries and other such items without realizing the fact that these snacks are loaded with fats and calories, and consuming them can lead to many health related issues. Munchies form an integral part of our diet, and therefore it is important for us to choose something healthy and nutritious to munch on. Honey roasted almonds are the best options to substitute our usual snacks. Roasted almonds are not only more nutritious, but also have a crunchy texture and great taste, just like any other fried snack. What’s more, you do not have to go to the supermarket to purchase these yummy snacks as they can be very easily made at home! Mentioned below are some honey roasted almond recipes that you can try out and enjoy.

• ½ cup dark Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp Canola oil
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tsp ground Ginger

• In a separate bowl combine the dark brown sugar along with salt and ground ginger and keep the bowl aside.
• Take a large saucepan, and combine the honey canola oil and water and allow the mixture to simmer. Stir the mixture constantly with the wooden ladle to avoid the honey from sticking behind the ladle.
• Pour this honey mixture over the almonds and mix them well to coat all almonds. Sprinkle the dark brown sugar and ground ginger over the coated almonds and spread them over a baking sheet to cool. 

Spicy Honey Roasted Almonds

• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 cups Almonds with skin
• 2 tsp Sea Salt
• ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
• ½ cup granulated Sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• ¼ tsp Garlic powder
• 1 ½ tsp Paprika

• Preheat the oven to 165^oC. Take a medium size bowl, add the granulated sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic powder and set it aside.
• Stir in the butter, honey and salt in a large saucepan and heat it over medium heat till the butter melts and the mixture gets sticky and caramelized.
• Add the almonds and stir them with wooden ladle to evenly coast the almonds in the mixture. Once almonds are coated properly, place them in a single layer on a baking dish which is lined with parchment paper.
• Bake the almonds until they turn golden brown. Transfer them into a bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over them.
• Toss the almonds well to coat each of them in the mixture.

• Once the almonds get roasted, pickup one almond and break it to see the colour inside. If the colour inside is light brown, your almonds are well roasted. But, if you are still not sure after seeing the colour, take a bite to check the crunchiness.
• If you wish to have plain roasted almonds, you can stop after the first step.
• Roasted almonds tend to stick to one another in an air-tight container due to the sugar coating. Shake the container gently to separate the almonds.
• Roasted honey almonds are best when consumed within 3-4 days.
