These sweet and spicy roasted almonds are the perfect crunchy treat for Valentine’s Day! With a balance of heat and sweetness, they make a delicious homemade gift or snack to share with someone special.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups whole almonds
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½-1 ¼ teaspoons cayenne pepper, Cayenne pepper can vary in intensity. Start with less and add more to taste.
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350˚F with a rack in the center of the oven. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Set one of the prepared sheet pans near the oven.
Measure almonds onto the center of the other sheet pan. Drizzle the oil and honey over the almonds. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. .
Place the almonds in the preheated oven for 3 minutes, then remove and stir well to make sure all the almonds are coated with the honey mixture. Spread the almonds back out to an even layer
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 10-13 minutes or until nuts are a nice golden brown, stir and spread to an even layer one more time half way through baking time.
While the nuts are baking, combine sugar, cayenne pepper and kosher salt. Stir well and set aside.
Remove the nuts from the oven and transfer to the clean parchment paper, leaving any pooled honey/oil on the pan. Sprinkle the nuts immediately with the sugar/cayenne mixture and toss with two spoons till nuts are thoroughly coated. Spread nuts to a single layer and cool completely. Transfer to an airtight jar or container, leaving any excess sugar on the pan.
