Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large skillet or non-stick pan, combine the butter, sugar, honey, water, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, salt, and paprika over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir constantly until the butter melts, and the mixture begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the raw almonds to the pan and stir thoroughly to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Continue cooking the almonds over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens and clings to the almonds.
Step 6
Transfer the coated almonds to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in an even single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Step 9
Once fully cooled, break apart any clusters and store the almonds in an airtight container for up to one week.
