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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
