Prep time
5 mins
Ingredients
- Oil: oil, for the tray
- Demerara Sugar: 15g demerara sugar
- Sea Salt: good pinch of flaky sea salt
- Honey: 50g honey
- Almonds: 250g raw skinned almonds
- Ground Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Nutmeg: 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Five Spice: 1/2 tsp five spice
Directions
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with lightly oiled baking parchment. Mix the sugar and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt the honey in a frying pan over a low heat. Add the almonds and spices and stir to coat. Transfer the nuts to the baking tray and spread them out in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown, scraping the nuts from the side to the centre from time to time so they cook and colour evenly.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly for 5 mins until the nuts become sticky, then toss them in the sugar and salt mixture. Cool completely, then divide them between cellophane bags.
