Smoky Sweet Spiced Almonds

Step 1

Place the almonds on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Toss the around and bake for another 5 minutes.

Step 2

Allow to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the coating.

Step 3

In a medium sized bowl, mix all ingredients except the nuts together well.

Step 4

Toss the warm nuts in the mixture until evenly coated, then roast on a parchment lined baking sheet for 12-18 minutes depending on the size of the nuts to get them perfectly toasted.

Step 5

Watch them carefully and toss them around several time during the baking times to make sure they are staying separate and not clumping together.

Step 6

Allow them to cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Continue to toss them several times as they cool to keep the nuts separated.

Step 8

When completely cool, these can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or so.
