Tamari Roasted Almonds

Follow

As I am incorporating more and more raw foods into my diet, I have also been adding nuts as snacks.  I am not a huge almond fan, but I was turned onto tamari roasted almonds and really liked them.  So I went searching and finally found them at one of the local health food stores – I of course bought some, but at $7.50 per pound – decided these would be a luxury snack.  I then got to thinking – how hard could it be to roast my own.  I bought some raw almonds and I already had tamari – so now to start experimenting.

Tamari Roasted Almonds

Ingredients

3 cups Raw almonds (about 1 pound)
1/3 cup Tamari (preferably organic, low sodium)
Pinch of sugar (preferably organic)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2. Place the almonds onto cookie sheets or shallow baking dish – spread out evenly.

3. Roast for about 10 minutes or until you smelling them.

4. In a bowl mix together the tamari and a pinch of sugar – stir until sugar is dissolved.

5. Take the almonds out of the oven and in batches and toss in the tamari mixture.  The tamari mixture will become warm, along with the bowl – so take caution – you do not want to get burned.

6. Place the coated almonds back onto the baking sheet and roast for another 20 minutes or until you smell them again.  I smelled burning, but it was the tamari on the baking sheet not the nuts.

7. Take them out and allow to cool completely.  Place in a airtight container and eat within a month – that will definitely not be a problem here! I have already shared them with others and they were well received.

I think the next time that I make these and I will be making them again – I will let the nuts marinate in the tamari a little longer and cook at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
