Step 1

Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.

Step 2

Turn oven on to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake almonds, stirring occasionally, until light tan and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes. The nuts will continue to cook after removing from oven.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix sugar and salt together in a small bowl; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon sugar mixture into a large bowl.

Step 4

Stir honey, water, and almond oil together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add almonds; cook and stir until almonds have absorbed all the liquid, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer coated almonds to the large bowl sprinkled with sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over almonds; toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spread almonds onto waxed paper to cool completely. Store at room temperature in a tightly covered container or plastic bag.
