Ingredients
  

2 cups raw almonds

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and whisk continuously as it bubbles. Keep an eye on it until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it; this process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

      Combine Ingredients: Once the butter is browned, remove it from heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, sea salt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Pour the brown butter into the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

        Add Almonds: Add the raw almonds to the bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the brown butter and honey mixture.

          Roast the Almonds: Transfer the coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they roast evenly. Keep a close watch as they can burn quickly.

            Cool and Serve: Once golden and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they'll become crunchy and delicious.

              Store: Once cooled, you can store your Brown Butter Honey Roasted Almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
