Honey Roasted Cinnamon Almonds

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

You know those cinnamon roasted nuts that they sell at the mall and fairs that always draw you in with their aroma? Then you totally regret eating the whole bag because they are so incredibly sweet? (Or maybe that’s just me…) Today, I am going to tell you how to make a healthier version of those nuts at home! 

I love having almonds on hand as an easy, healthy snack for work. Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E which plays an important role as an antioxidant by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species during fat oxidation. Plus, vitamin E supports immune function. Almonds are also a good source of phosphorus which is important for strong bones and teeth.

Let’s get to these almonds shall we! Just take a look at those! I loved the addition of the shredded coconut to these. It not only makes them look pretty, but adds a hint of coconut flavor which blends well with the cinnamon.

    Mine came out all sticky. Not sure they were supposed to be like that. Did I do something wrong?

      No – you didn’t make them wrong. 🙂 They will be a little sticky once they are done! (Especially if they are still a little warm.)
