Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients:

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup unsweetened organic shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the almonds from sticking.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the raw almonds, honey, unsweetened shredded coconut, and coconut oil.
   • Stir well to ensure that all the almonds are coated with the honey and coconut mixture.
   • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
3. Spread on Baking Sheet:
   • Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
   • Make sure they are evenly distributed so they roast evenly.
4. Roast in the Oven:
   • Place the baking sheet with the almonds in the preheated oven.
   • Roast the almonds for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.
5. Check for Doneness:
   • Keep an eye on the almonds during the last few minutes of roasting to prevent overcooking.
   • The almonds will come out of the oven slightly gooey due to the honey but will harden as they cool.
6. Cool and Enjoy:
   • Once the almonds are roasted to your desired level of crunchiness and golden color, remove them from the oven.
   • Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet.
   • As they cool, the honey will crystallize, creating a delightful sweet coating on the almonds.
7. Store and Snack:
   • Once the almonds have cooled, transfer them to an airtight container.
   • Enjoy your Honey Coconut Roasted Almonds as a convenient and flavorful snack or use them as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or salads.
