Warm Spiced Almonds
A sweet and fragrant take on a classic snack
Why This Recipe Works
These almonds are toasted in a quick butter-sugar glaze with a heavy hand of warm autumnal spices. It is a high-impact snack that fills the kitchen with a cozy scent while the nuts toast and crisp.
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the almonds, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt to the skillet.
Cook the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the sugar from scorching. The nuts are ready when the sugar has melted into a glossy glaze and the almonds smell toasted.
Transfer the almonds to a plate or a sheet of parchment paper to cool slightly before eating. They will continue to crisp up as they reach room temperature.
Serve while still warm.
