Ingredients
- 200 grams raw almonds
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the raw almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Step 4
While the almonds are cooling, finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 5
Microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to achieve a smoother consistency.
Step 6
Arrange the cooled roasted almonds in a single layer on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
Step 7
Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the almonds in a zigzag pattern, making sure to cover them generously but evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-drizzled almonds while the chocolate is still wet to enhance the flavor.
Step 9
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the almonds in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 10
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
