Spiced Almonds  – roasted with chilli, cayenne pepper, Tamari and a little sugar for a hint of sweetness. Seriously addictive and perfect for entertaining.

Do you have a bucket list of dishes that you’ve never made and keep meaning to get round to? I do and one such dish (or should I say snack) was flavoured roasted nuts.

I remember my mother being very impressed at a party she went to where the host made some spiced nuts and so for the last 15 years of more I’ve had that seed of a thought and never acted on it (dreadful I know).

Anyhow spying a bag of unopened blanched almonds in my cupboard yesterday and not having any baking plans for them I decided to bite the bullet and make my own Spiced Almonds. I read up on all sorts of different recipes including a couple from the Cranks series of books and this is my version as I wanted a savoury spicy nut with a slight hint of sweetness.

I have to say these Spiced Almonds were a huge hit here and were all eaten up – it was a miracle I had any to photograph as hubby’s paws kept reaching out for “just another one”!

Then my teenage son came home from school and he gave them the big thumbs up too. My daughter wasn’t keen as she’s not a big fan of spicy snacks so that just left more for the rest of us! These nuts are seriously dangerous as you just can’t stop eating them.

So if like me you’ve never made your own spiced nuts I urge you to try it as it’s so very simple and they taste so much better than the over salted nut mixes you can buy.

    Is Tamari Soya Sauce different, or can you use regular?

      It is more subtle but you could use Soya Sauce, probably light best.

    I love almonds, but my wife hates them with a passion! So the only time I have them is when I buy myself some snack-pack sized packs…
