Honey-Roasted Almonds

Honey-Roasted Almonds

Honey-roasted almonds take one pan and twenty-five minutes, and they disappear fast at any gathering. Moresca N°03's signature almond note is the whole reason this pairing works. The oil goes right into the pan with the nuts themselves, which is genuinely all there is to learning how to honey-roast almonds at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Moresca N°03
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the raw almonds on the pan and toast 8 minutes, until lightly fragrant.
  3. While the almonds toast, warm the honey and Moresca N°03 together in a small saucepan over low heat, just until thin and pourable, not simmering.
  4. Toss the warm toasted almonds with the honey mixture, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated almonds back onto the pan in a single layer.
  6. Bake another 6 to 8 minutes, watching closely in the last few minutes since honey burns quickly, until deeply fragrant and lightly caramelized.
  7. Cool completely on the pan, then break apart any clusters before transferring to storage.
