Tamari Roasted Almonds

I’m pretty sure these are about the best ‘on the go’ snack out there. At the rate I was going through the store-bought packs, it was time to make my own. Easy to whip up, safe for most restrictive diets and a whole heap tastier than your plain humble almond. Somehow, despite salty and savory ingredients, they even manage to satisfy a sweet craving. Give them a go.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°. Place the almonds on a baking tray and pour the tamari and oil over the top and mix through evenly
Roast the almonds for about 15 minutes stirring once halfway through baking
Cool before transferring to a jar for storage

Ingredients

Serves 2 c

2 cups of whole almonds
2 tablespoons of tamari
1 tbspn of grapeseed or rice bran oil

Nutrition Bite

Almonds - low in saturated fats, with most of the fats being monounsaturated fat – the good fat that is also found in olive oil. Being a plant food, almonds contain zero cholesterol and they even help reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood. One small handful of almonds contains as much calcium as a quarter of a cup of milk, and they also contain phosphorus, which is necessary for bone and teeth health.
