Sugared Almonds

This quick and easy method is great when you want to jazz some nuts up for a last minute garnish. I like making this with pecans and adding them to my salads for a sweet crunch.

Ingredients

  • Almonds slivered (or whichever nut you like)
  • Granulated white sugar as needed

Instructions

  1. Have a baking tray lined with parchment ready and near the stove before beginning.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add almonds in an even layer. Cook shaking the skillet from time to time to heat evenly. The nuts will start to glisten as they heat up and start to release their oils.
  3. Sprinkle a hearty amount of sugar over the nuts and mix well using a high heat spatula or silicone spoon (anything that won't scratch your skillet). The sugar will melt and coat the nuts (this will happen quickly, so work fast and move the nuts around so the sugar doesn’t burn)
  4. Once the sugar has melted and coated the nuts, pour them out into an even layer on the prepared tray and sprinkle with more sugar. Shake the tray to coat. Let cool completely before using.
  5. Enjoy!
