Ingredients
  

2 cups raw almonds

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Continue cooking the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma. This will take about 5-7 minutes, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

      Mix the Ingredients: Once browned, remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately stir in the honey, sea salt, and optional ground cinnamon and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Add Almonds: In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with the brown butter mixture. Toss until all almonds are evenly coated.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t crowded to ensure even roasting.

            Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

              Cool Down: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.

                Store: Once cooled, store the Brown Butter Honey Roasted Almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
