Roasted Tamari Almonds

I guarantee that almond lovers with swoon with delight over these crunchy and highly addictive almonds roasted with salty tamari. Considering that they are so ridiculously easy to make, it's a wonder that I ever purchased overpriced bags of pre-prepared tamari almonds from stores — which sometimes even included ingredients other than just raw almonds and tamari.

This recipe makes a full pan so you'll have some on hand to snack on throughout the week when you get the munchies. Although, if you're a certain friend of mine, a full batch might only last a day!

Be sure to use genuine tamari — easily available at any grocer nowadays — instead of common Chinese soy sauce. Tamari has a much richer and deeper flavor that is essential for these almonds. Besides, if you haven't already tried tamari yet, you'll find that you'll never go back to cheap soy sauces.

Recipe by Lisa Turner Published on October 24, 2016 Classic crunchy home roasted tamari almonds with a deep, rich and addictive flavor Preparation: 5 minutes Cooking time: 12 to 15 minutes Print this recipe Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups raw almonds 3 1/2 tablespoons tamari Instructions: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat an oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, toss the almonds with the tamari. Spread the almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 7 minutes. Flip the almonds, and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until browned. If there is still tamari on the baking sheet, turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the pan sit until the tamari has evaporated. Remove the sheet from the oven and let cool completely. These keep well in a sealed jar for a good number of weeks, although I doubt they will last that long. They're that good. Makes 2 1/2 cups
