Why you should cook soy-roasted almonds
You will love these nuts because they have a great balance of salt and crunch. Making Soy-Roasted Almonds at home is much healthier than buying premade snacks. You can control the quality of the ingredients and the amount of seasoning used. The recipe is very fast and requires almost no cleanup afterwards.
Step by step: soy-roasted almonds
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper. This step prevents the nuts from sticking to the surface while they roast.
Mixing: Place the raw almonds in a bowl and add the soy sauce, honey and garlic powder. Stir the mixture well so every nut is coated in the liquid.
Roasting: Spread the soy roasted almonds on the tray in a single layer and bake for 12 minutes. Move the nuts around halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly.
Cooling: Let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet so they become crunchy and firm. Store them in a container once they are cold to keep them fresh.
Useful tips for soy-roasted almonds
Always use raw and unsalted almonds to ensure the final snack is not too salty. If you prefer a spicy flavour, you can add a small pinch of dried chilli flakes to the mix. Keep a close eye on the oven because the soy coating can burn very quickly. You want the liquid to evaporate completely so the nuts are dry when they come out. Let them sit on the tray for at least ten minutes to reach their full crunchiness.
Storing the Soy-Roasted Almonds in an airtight glass jar will keep them fresh for a long time. You can also toss these nuts into a salad or a stir fry for extra texture and flavour.
