ROASTED ALMOND BUTTER
While many nut butters contain added sugar or hydrogenated oils, this homemade recipe contains just nuts, and maybe a little salt if you're so inclined. The secret to a deeply nutty flavor is twofold: Leaving the skins on and roasting the almonds before puréeing both add complexity. For a chocolate version, blend in some maple syrup and cacao nibs (start with about 2 tablespoons of each, then adjust to your liking). A few drops of pure almond extract would also add a nice flavor boost, reminiscent of marzipan.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and nicely toasted, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, 30 minutes.
- Place nuts in a food processor and purée until smooth, about 8 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed (mixture may clump up, but will eventually become creamy). Season to taste with salt, if desired. Almond butter will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees and line a large baking sheet with silicone or parchment.* Place the raw almonds in a large metal or ceramic mixing bowl (we'll be adding the hot nuts back into it, so don't use plastic).
- Stir 1½ teaspoon of salt into the hot water until mostly dissolved (it hardly ever completely dissolves for me - it's okay if it doesn't), pour over the nuts in the bowl and mix until all are coated.
- Transfer to prepared baking sheet, spreading the nuts in a single layer.
- Bake for about 8 minutes, stir well and spread back into a single layer. Bake for 6-8 minutes more, depending on how your oven cooks (Ours are usually perfect at about 15 minutes total, but your oven may vary, so may take 5-10 minutes longer). To test doneness, the nuts should be nicely browned, inside and out (you can cut one open to see if it's browned inside). Keep an eye on them, this is when they can burn quickly - but you don't want them undercooked either or they won't be crisp (once you've made them, the timing is easier).
- When they are done baking, put the hot nuts back into the large bowl and pour the olive oil over them. Toss well until all the nuts are coated, shaking on sea salt as you go. You can taste one, but they're very hot, so be careful (I usually just like to see a bit of salt on the outsides and that seems to be enough with the original salt-water coating).
- Leave the nuts to cool in the bowl, or spread out on the pan again if you need them to cool more quickly. The nuts will soak up the oil as they cool.**
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right almonds: Look for raw, unsalted almonds that are free of blemishes and have a consistent color.
- Soak the almonds (optional): Soaking the almonds for 8-12 hours or overnight can help to soften them and make them easier to digest. However, this step is not necessary.
- Use a hot oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before roasting the almonds. This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Spread the almonds in a single layer: Make sure that the almonds are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they can roast evenly.
- Roast the almonds for 10-15 minutes: Keep a close eye on the almonds as they roast and stir them every few minutes to prevent them from burning. The almonds are done roasting when they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Let the almonds cool: Once the almonds are done roasting, let them cool completely before storing them.
Conclusion:
Roasting almonds is a quick and easy way to enhance their flavor and make them a healthy and delicious snack. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your roasted almonds turn out perfect every time. Enjoy!
