Smoky Sweet Spiced Almonds

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole raw almonds
  • 1 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. Chile powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. chipotle powder
  • 1-1/2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • Place the almonds on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, toss around, return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the coating.
  • In a medium size bowl, add all ingredients, except the nuts, together and mix well.
  • Toss the warm nuts into the mixture until evenly coated.
  • Place back in oven and roast, on a parchment lined baking sheet, for 12 – 18 minutes, until perfectly toasted.
  • Watch the nuts carefully, toss around several times during the baking to ensure they are staying separate and not clumping together.
  • Remove from the oven and allow them to cool, in the pan, for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Continue to toss them several times, as they cool, to keep the nuts separated.
  • When completely cool, these can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or so.
