Roasted Savory Soy Almonds

 

At the office we are always looking for a healthy snack either mid morning or early afternoon to hold us over to our next meal. Almonds are a perfect snack because they are full of healthy fats, antioxidants, and loaded with protein.  One of my fellow colleagues give me this recipe and ever since she made it  for our office we take turns making it  to always have around in the office for a nice filling snack. So next time  you are at your local bulk foods store purchase some raw almonds.  Plus while you are out don’t forget to stop at the local natural foods store to pick up Bragg’s Liquid Amios (a soy sauce natural alternative).  This soy alternative is significantly lower in sodium than tradition soy sauce but tastes exactly the same. So if you are trying to cut down on sodium (and who isn’t)  this product is a perfect solution. You can find  also find Bragg’s at Whole Foods, and Market District Giant Eagle.

 

 

Ingredients:

4 Cups of Raw Almonds

 

4 Tablespoons of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees.

 

Measure out the raw almonds and place them in a mixing bowl and pour over the liquid aminos over the almonds.

 

Toss the almonds with your hands until the almonds are evening coated with the liquid.

 

Get a half sheet cooking pan ready. I like to place parchment paper down on the sheet (usually makes for easier clean up).

 

Spread the almonds on the pan evening (you do not want any on top of each other). Toast the almonds every 15 minutes with a spatula until all the liquid aminos has evaporated. The process usually takes my oven an hour (tossing 4 times).
