Recipe for Homemade Salted Almonds

These salted almonds are super simple to make and they are very delicious. We normally use these almonds as a pre-dinner snack when having guests or pack them in small bag and bring them to work. They are perfect as a healthy snack in the late afternoon when you are just really hungry and the dinner is still hours away.

These homemade salted almonds are simple to make and it takes only about 40 minutes to make a batch. First let the almonds soak in a brine for about 20 minutes and then bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes - and that's it.

If you are more into a sweet almond snack I would like to recommend these sugar roasted almonds which is a traditional Nordic treat especially during Christmas and the winter months.

They are also super delicious and great as a snack for special occasions.

    I'm from Scotland, and have been looking out for salted almonds after reading that they go well with a glass of Sherry. I have only been able to find unsalted, so I'll have to try this out. Cheers!

    Hello,
    This sounds yummy, Have you by any chance tried the soaking in brine process with other nuts and seeds such as shelled sunflower and pumpkin seeds or hazelnuts?
    I'm curious if it would be the same technique

      Hi Sean. They are really good and easy to make. I've never tried the soak in brine for other nuts but I can only imagine that I will work for other nuts as well. I've a plan that I will try to make some different types of nuts for the coming new year eve

    I love the fact that there's no additional oil to be added--all of the other recipes I've found have called for the hot, roasted nuts to be tossed in a bit of oil before cooling. Who needs it!!!!!

    I’m from central California in the San Juaquine Valley. We farm almonds. I’ve been roasting myself and have tried several different recipes, but......this one is by far the most delicious recipe yet. The nuts I roast are 100% raw so have a stronger almond flavor than store bought. All commercially sold almonds are pasteurized to a certain degree because they are shaken to the ground during harvest. Yes even “raw” store bought almonds have been pasturized if they come from America. I just absolutely love this recipe. The nuts are super crunchy and have the best salty goodness to them of all other recipes. Most recipes call for oil and that is what drew me to your recipe - no oil. Great Job! Thank you.

          They will last for a very long time. Just look at the expiration date on the package which the almonds came in.

      Does the pasteurisation process apply to shell-on nuts, too?

    These are awesome! I have been looking for a lower salt version than I can find in stores. This allows me to control the amount of salt that I put on and in the almonds. Made a batch following the recipe here and they are excellent! Then made another batch with less salt, but then also coated the almonds in maple syrup, a small amount of veg oil, 1/4 tsp chili powder, and 1/8 tsp cayenne powder. Sprinkled large grain sea salt before roasting. AMAZING!

    I would love to try this recipe. I have sliced blanched almonds and not whole almonds. Should I make any alterations to the recipe to use with sliced almonds versus whole almonds?

    Made these twice now, simple, quick and very tasty. Just a note re almonds, make sure they’re from a sustainable source - I understand many Californian growers use pesticides that are harmful to bees.
