Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ½ cups whole almonds
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.

  • Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh nuts: Stale nuts will not have the same flavor or texture as fresh nuts.
  • Roast the nuts before spicing them: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Coat the nuts evenly in the spices: This will ensure that all of the nuts are equally flavorful.
  • Roast the nuts until they are fragrant and crispy: Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spicy almonds and cashews are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as an ingredient in other dishes.
