Instructions
- For this recipe all we need is Almonds, Honey, Sugar and salt. It is such an easy recipe that you can prepare in no time.
- First of all, keep your oven for preheating at 200 degree Celsius for 10 minutes. I always recommend to preheat the oven prior to baking. Preheating helps in even baking.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread almonds on it. Bake these almonds in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan take sugar, honey and salt. Heat it on low to medium flame.
- I like the granules of sugar on my roasted almonds, hence I heated the solution only for 2-3 minutes.
- This saves the honey to get over heated and spoil. If you want to dissolve the sugar completely, then first heat sugar and once it is caramelized, add honey.
- While baking, place the tray on middle rack and use only bottom coil. Once roasted, take out the almonds from oven.
- Coat roasted almonds with prepared sugar honey syrup and spread on a butter paper. Let them cool completely.
- You will see almonds sticking up together due to honey syrup. Separate them individually and serve.
Notes
- Store these honey glazed almonds in an air-tight container. I prefer to store them in refrigerator.
- If you don’t have Oven, you can dry roast almonds in any non-stick pan.
