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.
Instructions
- Boil 2 dl (1 cup) of water and dissolve 4 tablespoons of salt in it. Turn off the heat.
- Pour the almonds into the water and let them soak for about 20 minutes.
- Drain the water from the almonds. Place the almonds in an even layer on an oven tray/pan lined with baking paper.
- Sprinkle the almonds with some extra salt and bake them at 150 C (300 F) for about 20 minutes.

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
Kim Nielsen
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
Alex Black

I've been making these for a while after finding this recipe. They are amazing. Perfect with a beer.I always make these for when we have friends over & I'm always asked"where did I buy them from".
You have to try these. So easy to do too.
Penny
Delighted to find this recipe, just back from Norway and loved the way they put these salted almonds on the table at the start of a meal. Thank you!
Melody`
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!!!!!
Eve Campbell
What is a d liter????
Kim Nielsen
HI. That is a deciliter (dl), the most commend way of measuring volumen in Europe.
Sheila
Made some for a friends get together. My friend said they were the best salted almonds she had ever had and asked where I bought them. Enough said 😀 tusinde tak, Kim
Kim Nielsen
You are welcome. I am just glad that you liked the salted almonds :-) Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

That will not cover 7 ozs of almonds...!!!
Kim Nielsen

Lorreen
Very tasty thank you.
Dan
Super easy to make and super tasty. Thanks for the recipe

Judy
Thanks you! I just made these and they are nice and salty! It really worked! Genius! I had tried a lot of recipes and am so glad this one really worked! Do you have one for salt and vinegar almonds?
Kim Nielsen
Thanks for your nice comment. I also like these a lot. I don't have a recipe for salt and vinegar almonds. However, if you find a good one please e-mail it to me :-D
Nunie Wallace
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.
Kim Nielsen
I really happy that you like this recipe. I didn't know that store bought almonds are pasteurized. When I come to California again I'll absolutely try to get some real 'raw' almonds :-)
Melissa
How long will these almonds last in a sealed container?
Kim Nielsen
They will last for a very long time. Just look at the expiration date on the package which the almonds came in.
MariTere
Does the pasteurisation process apply to shell-on nuts, too?

This is a great recipe, thank you for sharing.
Vimal
Came across this recipe and tried it immediately. They taste heavenly! I will be making these again and again.. Thank you very much for sharing it, Kim!
Kim Nielsen
I'm happy that you like the recipe. It's also one of my top favorites :-)
Steve
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!
matea
just wanted to say that these are the best! i have made them for a few times now, and recommended this recipe to my friends! :) well done
Kim Nielsen
Thanks. I also really like them :-)
Fay
This is such a simple and tasty idea. Friends are always impressed when I say that I made these myself. Thanks for the recipe!
Ann$
Fabulous!! Love the fact you use no oil. @Nunie Wallace that is very interesting information I am wondering if the almonds I got from Imperfect Produce have been pasteurized.
Lissy
Quick, easy, absolutely delicious. A joy to eat a healthy snack that has no hidden ingredients that are not good for you. Thank you for sharing.
Only downside I can’t stop eating them!
Kim Nielsen
Thanks for your nice words. I am happy that you like the recipe. I have the same problem - I can't stop eating them :-)

Joe Pfeiler
My cousin farms almonds in Central California and he recently gave me a large batch. This recipe was a wonderful way to salt and roast them.
Kawoni
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?
Kim Nielsen
I've not tried to use sliced almonds. However, I would try just use the same recipe. I believe that should work. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

Love, love, love the nuts. Will never buy already salted nuts again. This recipe is just to easy and to good.
David
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.
Bhajanlal
This is very nice way to make roasted almonds at home which is very easy and cheaper than the supermarket Thanks for recipes
Vibeke Vale
Tastes great, had to bake mine ten minutes longer to be done.
Brian
Nice 👍
Viki
Hi, do you user normal table salt, or sea salt? I know sea salt is a lot stronger, so needed to check.
Thanks
Kim Nielsen
I have used normal table salt. If you use sea salt then you can reduce the amount a little bit. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

Hi Kim do you have a recipe for roasting and salting shelled peanuts?

Graeme from Australia
Have you used liquid smoke in the brine to add a Smokey flavour ( hickory) .?
Kim Nielsen
I have never tried to use liquid smoke (it is not a common ingredient here in Europe). I always bring back some bottles when I visit the states. I will try liquid smoke the next time I make a batch. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
Linda Mower
I have been buying those from the Grapetree and was disappointed to find they don't stock them anymore so I thought I'd give this a try. They are exactly the same as the ones I bought and even my husband who is not a salt fan can't leave them alone. I tried another recipe which used olive oil and salt instead of just salt and yours are by far the superior version. Thank you!
Kim Nielsen
Thanks for your nice comment. I am happy that you also like this recipe for salted almonds :-) Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
