Reasons to choose smoked almonds

Making your own Smoked Almonds means you can control exactly how much salt and seasoning is used. Many shop bought snacks contain extra preservatives and artificial flavourings that are not necessary. This recipe uses natural spices to create a rich and satisfying taste. It is a very quick process that delivers a professional result every time.

How to make smoked almonds

Step 1

Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 180C and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place the raw almonds into a mixing bowl and ensure they are free from any dust.

Step 2

Add the flavour: Pour the olive oil and liquid smoke over the almonds in the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until every nut is evenly coated with the liquid.

Step 3

Roast the nuts: Spread the almonds out in a single layer on the prepared tray so they cook evenly. Place them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until they become fragrant and toasted.

Step 4

Season and finish: Take the tray out and immediately sprinkle the sea salt and smoked paprika over the hot nuts. Let the Smoked Almonds cool completely on the tray before moving them to a jar.

Important tips for smoked almonds

Always start with raw and unsalted almonds to ensure you can manage the salt levels yourself. If you do not have liquid smoke you can use a little extra smoked paprika although the flavour will be milder. Keep a close eye on the oven during the last few minutes because nuts can go from toasted to burnt very quickly. You can try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for a different flavour profile. Stirring the nuts once halfway through the cooking time helps them roast more consistently. Make sure the Smoked Almonds are stone cold before you put them in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.

Storing them while they are still warm will create steam which makes the nuts lose their crisp texture. These snacks will stay fresh and delicious for up to two weeks if kept in a dry and cool place.
