Sweet and Spicy Roasted Almonds: Easy Snack Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2.5 cups whole almonds
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Gather all of the necessary ingredients.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast until they turn golden brown and become fragrant, approximately 10 minutes. Watch them closely to avoid burning.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper; set aside the mixture.
4. In a large skillet, combine the water, honey, and olive oil over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the toasted almonds and stir until they are evenly coated.
5. Pour the almond mixture into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss to ensure they are completely coated.
6. Spread the almonds in a single layer on baking sheets, and allow them to cool completely to room temperature.
