Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 6 ounces, weight Roasted, Lightly Salted (or Unsalted) Almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper, Plus A Pinch For Finishing
  • 1 pinch Salt, Such As Truffle, Kosher, Or Sea

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F before starting the next step.
  • In a small, nonstick, oven-safe skillet, heat honey over medium for a couple minutes until warm and fluid.
  • Turn off heat and add almonds.
  • Stir with a rubber spatula to coat thoroughly.
  • Transfer pan, with almonds evenly distributed, to oven and bake 10 minutes until bubbly and slightly darkened.
  • Stir once, after 5 minutes, making sure to handle the skillet with an oven mitt.
  • Spread a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat nearby while the almonds roast.
  • Immediately stir almonds together with pepper and salt.
  • Quickly spread hot almonds on parchment paper in an even layer.
  • Sprinkle with a little more pepper and salt and let cool completely, until honey is firm.
  • Break apart almonds and store in the refrigerator or a cool, dry place (if you dont eat them all right away!
  • ).
  • Note: Truffle salt sounds pricey but it can be purchased online or at some grocery stores for a reasonable price.
  • A small jar will last quite long, and its also amazing on dishes like potatoes or gratins!
