Lavender and Honey Roasted Almonds

Embark on a delightful culinary journey with these Lavender and Honey Roasted Almonds. Uniquely fragrant and exquisitely sweet, these almonds are a perfect snack for any time of the day. Lavender, a cherished ingredient often found in French cuisine, lends an aromatic twist, while honey imparts a natural sweetness that complements the nutty crunch of almonds. This recipe dates back to the medieval times when almonds were considered a symbol of prosperity and the combination of honey and lavender was used for its calming and soothing properties.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Dried lavender flowers
1 tablespoon
Honey
3 tablespoons
Raw almonds
2 cups

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the raw almonds, honey, dried lavender flowers, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Stir well to ensure every almond is evenly coated with the mixture.
  3. Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the almonds turn a beautiful golden brown color and a sweet, fragrant aroma fills your kitchen.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the almonds cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool.
  6. Enjoy these delightful Lavender and Honey Roasted Almonds as a snack, or use them as a gourmet addition to your salads and desserts.

Tips

  • 💡 For a stronger lavender flavor, you can lightly crush the dried lavender flowers before adding them to the mixture.
  • 💡 Monitor the almonds closely towards the end of roasting time to prevent burning. The almonds can go from perfectly roasted to burnt very quickly.
