Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, ground ginger, grated ginger root, and ground red pepper. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes together into a smooth sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the almonds to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure each almond is fully coated with the ginger-sugar mixture. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the water and salt to the pan. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of salt. The water should help to further coat the almonds with the glaze.
Spread the glazed almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as the almonds cool, creating a deliciously crunchy coating. Once cool, break apart any clusters and transfer the almonds to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage.
Tips:
- Toast the almonds in a dry pan for a few minutes before glazing to enhance their natural flavor.
- Use fresh ginger root for the most intense and authentic ginger flavor.
- If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of red pepper used.
- Make sure to stir constantly when cooking the glaze to prevent it from burning.
- Spread the glazed almonds on a baking sheet to cool for even drying and to avoid them sticking together.
Ginger-glazed spiced almonds are a tasty, homemade snack that provides a unique combination of sweet and spicy flavors. Whether you're enjoying them yourself or sharing them with friends and family, these almonds are sure to be a hit. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for longer. Enjoy your delightful creation!
