Honey Roasted Almonds are the perfect mid-day treat! This snack comes together quickly and is a breeze to make. Sweet and salty, they will curb even the hungriest of appetites.
sweet, salty, and a lil’ bit sticky.
These Honey Roasted Almonds are SO TASTY. They are just downright delicious. Not much is better than roasted nuts (that sounds borderline inappropriate, I know), so when you coat them in a honey glaze I’m like, YES PLEASE. They are a little sticky, which gives them a candy-like quality about them and they are sweet AND salty. I could literally eat ALL of them in one sitting. I generally have enough self control not to, but honestly, it could be worse.

how to make honey roasted almonds
Place the almonds on a baking sheet. Put them in the cold oven, and then heat to 350°F while roasting for 12 minutes. Check on them frequently, shaking the pan at least 2 times while they are roasting. They can burn quickly if you leave them unattended!
While the almonds are in the oven, mix together the honey, coconut oil, and water together in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir consistently for about 5 minutes. Reduce to a simmer while the almonds finish roasting. After the almonds are done, pour them into the saucepan and stir, coating completely. Let sit in honey mixture for 5-10 minutes to soak into almonds, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle in salt and cinnamon and stir until completely incorporated. Spread back out on a parchment paper covered baking sheet and let cool completely.
