Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 300 g almonds
  • 3 tablespoons Tamari* or soy sauce (in this case, the snack won't be gluten-free anymore)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil or olive oil
  • 1 scant teaspoon chili powder optional (alternatively, 1 teaspoon hot paprika powder and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper)
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F) with the fan on. 
    Alternatively, you can use an air fryer (lined with an air fryer liner or using a heat-safe dish that fits into your air fryer). Keep in mind to stir the almonds once or twice during both roasting rounds if you make them in the air fryer.
  • Roast round one: Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Roast round two: Remove the almonds from the oven and toss them with the Tamari and oil right on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove the almonds from the oven and immediately toss them with the chili powder (while they're still hot).
  • Let the almonds cool completely for maximum crunch. Enjoy!

Notes

*Tamari is the star and namesake here, but soy sauce works too! If using soy sauce, add a pinch of salt since it’s a bit less salty than Tamari. Also, keep in mind that Tamari is gluten-free, while soy sauce is not.
