Soy Roasted Almonds Recipes

HOW TO ROAST ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
• If roasting whole almonds, roast for 10-15 minutes. If roasting slivered or sliced almonds, roast for 8-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Oven temperatures may vary, so keep an eye on the almonds so they don't burn.
• Remove from oven and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat almonds until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from skillet and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• On a microwave-safe plate, spread almonds in a single, even layer.
• Microwave in 1-minute intervals until lightly golden and toasted.

• Stir in the canola oil and spread almonds out evenly on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring mid-way, until nuts are very fragrant and no longer wet to the touch.
• Allow almonds to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.

HONEY ROASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.
• Turn oven on to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake almonds, stirring occasionally, until light tan and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes. The nuts will continue to cook after removing from oven.
• Meanwhile, mix sugar and salt together in a small bowl; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon sugar mixture into a large bowl.
• Stir honey, water, and almond oil together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add almonds; cook and stir until almonds have absorbed all the liquid, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer coated almonds to the large bowl sprinkled with sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over almonds; toss to coat evenly.
• Spread almonds onto waxed paper to cool completely. Store at room temperature in a tightly covered container or plastic bag.

SHOYU WASABI ROASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Pre-heat oven to 350.
• Spread almonds on the sheet to a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
• While the nuts are baking, combine marinade ingredients in a stainless mixing bowl large enough to accomodate all the nuts and whisk to combine.
• After the almonds have baked for the 10 minutes pour them into the marinade and stir to evenly coat them and then put them back on the sheet in a single layer and bake for an additonal 10 to 15 minutes stirring the nuts at about 7 minutes or so so that they will bake evenly. Taste one at ten minutes and see if is roasted to your liking if not continue until they are done.
• Rinse and dry your mixing bowl and combine the dry ingredients in it. When the nuts are done roasting, toss them while they are still hot in the dry ingredients (I usually use a food service disposable glove and press the powder into the nuts). Drop the nuts into a wired strainer over a plate and shake the excess powder off. Warning! Done this way the nuts are a wasabi bomb so if you like it milder, use less powder and a lighter coating.
