Salted Caramel Roasted Almonds

A protein packed, sweet snack of caramel coated almonds.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light Karo syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread raw almonds on a large baking sheet so that they are just one layer. Roast the almonds for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar and Karo to a boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla, salt and baking soda. (This will cause the mixture to bubble up.)
  • Once the almonds are roasted, carefully pour them into the butter mixture. Stir until well coated.
  • Reduce oven heat to 250°F.
  • Cover a large baking sheet with foil. Using a slotted spoon, remove the coated almonds from the saucepan and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Don't touch the coated almonds with your fingers... the mixture makes the almonds very hot!)
  • Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Stir, then do another 15 minutes.
  • Remove the almonds from the oven. Using a spatula, place almonds on a piece of waxed paper until cool. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
  • Enjoy!
