How To Make Honey Roasted Almonds
Are you planning on throwing a party soon and confused about the menu? If you have no financial constraints, then you will hardly have any trouble deciding about the food and snacks that you want to serve during the party. However, if your budget is somewhat limited, you may find yourself in a difficult situation.
One extremely cost-effective item that you can consider for your party is honey roasted almonds. The snacks are as mouth-watering as anything and do neither cost much, nor take too much time to be prepared. You can also prepare them well in advance so that you have ample time to work on other things before the party.
Preparation Time: 25-30 minutes
Serving Size: 2 to 3 persons
Utensils: Mixing bowl, spoon, baking tray/sheet, baking/parchment paper, cooling rack, airtight container
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp honey
– 2 tbsp olive oil (good quality)
– 2 tsp salt
– 1 tsp cayenne pepper
– 200g unsalted cashews
– 200g blanched almonds
Instructions
-
1
The first thing you need to do is to thoroughly mix honey, olive oil, cayenne pepper and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a spoon to stir the mixture comprising of the four ingredients.
-
2
Once you are done with the previous step, put the unsalted cashews and blanched almonds into the mixture. Start tossing the nuts around in the mixture using the spoon to properly coat them with the mixture that you prepared in the first step.

3
Now grab a baking tray/sheet. If you do not have a non-stick baking pan, place a parchment paper on it to make the surface non-stick.
-
4
Take out the coated nuts from the mixing bowl and spread them across the baking tray/sheet or parchment sheet, whatever you chose in the previous step.
-
5
Place the tray/sheer in the oven and bake it at a temperature of 180ºC/350ºF while stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. You may be done with the baking earlier, or may have to wait a few minutes extra as the aim here is to make the nuts golden brown.
-
6
Remove the tray/sheet from the oven after the nuts become golden and transfer the latter to a tray or an airtight container.

Enjoy the mouth-watering honey roasted almonds if you transferred them to the tray. You can treat yourself to the tasty snacks later if you stored them away in an airtight container.
