Spicy Honey-Glazed Almonds

These Spicy Honey-Glazed Almonds are a delightful snack, combining the sweetness of honey with a kick of spice, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 cups almonds
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10 minutes until they turn golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper, then set this spice blend aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine water, honey, and olive oil. Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the toasted almonds, stirring to ensure they're thoroughly coated.
4. Transfer the almonds to the bowl with the sugar and spice mixture, tossing well to ensure they are fully covered. Finally, spread the coated almonds back onto the baking sheet in a single layer and let them cool completely.
