What Are Honey Roasted Almonds?
Honey roasted almonds are crispy toasted almonds with honey and a touch of salt and chili flakes. You can make it just sweet leaving out the chili flakes. Also you can add some sea salt for flavor or some spice powders for punch.
You might have seen an array of toasted nuts with various flavors in shops. I have seen a lots of varieties like honey roasted, pudina, chili and plain salted nuts.
During diwali we got a pack of honey roasted almonds as gift and it tasted too good. I wanted to make a batch at home since then and finally it happened last week.
These are really addictive guys. Given that how easy these little treats are to make there is no reason for us to not make them.
Also have you noticed how expensive they are in shops? You can make a big batch at home at half the cost. Isn’t that very cool?
I like to make wholesome and clean snacks with real ingredients mostly. Roasted nuts come in real handy.
You can make these honey roasted nuts with any of your preferred nuts like pecans, cashews or even peanuts. You can also use a mix of nuts of choice.
Here I have glazed the almonds with olive oil but you can also use melted butter for more flavor. Also I have used some brown sugar for coating the nuts and that is optional.
This is a very healthy snack for toddlers and kids when consumed in moderation. Please be sure to exercise caution for choking hazard or nut allergies in kids
