Tangy and a little bit sweet. These maple roasted almonds make a great snack with a cocktail or a glass of wine.
Ingredients
- 2 cup whole shelled almonds
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 vegetable oil cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until lightly toasted and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce and maple syrup. Add almonds, and toss until thoroughly coated. Lightly coat a parchment lined baking sheet with cooking spray, and spread almonds in as close to a single layer as possible on sheet.
Roast in oven until deep brown, stirring once, 15 to 17 minutes. Immediately transfer to a clean parchment lined baking sheet, and spread out almonds, separating so nuts don’t touch. Let cool before serving.
I bet the “smoking gun” that I have would be great for making smoke infused cocktails instead of the liquid smoke. I need to play with that.
Indeed, for those of us who enjoy fine spirits artfully combined, the glory days have arrived. There is a crop of mixologists working out there who are really talented, and there is literally no end to the liquors to discover. Many thanks for the intro to this gentleman and for sharing his drink recipes. They sound just swell, the bee’s knees, I might say.
Hey Greg,
There is something so sublime about fine liquor and a well crafted cocktail. The subtleties of fine liquors artfully combined are a source of continual amazement and a good deal of enjoyment to me. Thanks for the introduction to this master!
I need him (or you) to come and make drinks for me. I am so so so bad at homemade cocktails. They never look or taste as good as what I’m seeing here! Thanks for sharing, my friend. Now off to find a good drink!
