Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon red paprika
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat a heavy bottom pan. Once it’s hot enough, add almonds.
- Dry roast the almonds for 8-10 minutes on low flame until they turn fragrant and toasted well.
- Then transfer the almonds to a bowl.
- In another pan, add 1 tablespoon butter.
- As the butter melts.
- Add honey, cinnamon powder, and red pepper powder.
- Cook it on a low flame till it starts boiling. Once it starts to boil add in the toasted almonds.
- Cook until the honey syrup is evenly coated over the almonds.
- Once done, remove it from heat and transfer it into a bowl.
- Now, sprinkle brown sugar over it.
- Toss the sugar well evenly over the almonds.
- Transfer these almonds to parchment paper and spread evenly with the almonds not touching each other.
- Let it dry completely and then store in air-tight containers.
Notes
- While roasting the almonds, the flame should be low. If you roast them on high flame, as soon they will be dark in color and not toasted well.
- Add almonds immediately to the honey syrup, so that honey can be coated evenly to almonds.
- Once cooled, the almonds can be quite sticky. Toss them a couple of times as they cool, and break apart once cooled before storing. Using parchment paper on a tray, coat lightly with cooking spray before adding almonds. This helps to get almonds not to stick to each other.
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 1-2 weeks.
