When kids are at home, you need to keep your snack bar full at al times. Just before the holidays began we got some snacks from Grand Sweets chennai, sent through my Sister-in-law by my Father-in-law. Thank god for that stash, they had something interesting to eat apart from the cakes and muffins i baked for this Bake-a-thon.
These almonds were baked for one such hungry moment, one of the easiest snack to make and best to munch along with your evening coffee.
I love a handful with my evening tea. Even my lil one enjoyed it for his evening snack. Since i was making it for all, i have kept the spice a notch down, if making for adults go on and experiment.
Ingredients
1 cup raw almonds
1 tsp oil
1 tsp freshly pounded pepper
1/2 tsp freshly pounded coriander powder
2 pinch of salt or to taste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C. In a baking tray or pan, take almonds, add oil, pepper and coriander and mix them all together with your hands. Sprinkle salt on top and mix again. Spread the almonds well. Don’t forget to wash your hands after.
- Bake the almonds for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Once done, remove it and let it cool completely. The cooling part is more important, it takes around 30-40 minutes. Once cooled, taste the best crunchiest almonds with peppery twist.
- Store them in an airtight container, if it lasts that longer. Mine got over in a hour and i had to bake another batch for the pictures.
Don't they look delicious! No wonder why they disappeared! I always feel we should have a disappearance wand so that if it is tempting the family, we can make it go into thin air to avoid making it again! 😉
Thats a brilliant idea of adding freshly pounded coriander, very new one Priya, those almonds are very tempting.
I love roasted almonds , they taste fabulous ! I make these regularly and real big batches , though I vary the spices .
I love these baked almonds priya, and adding coriander is a good one!
Roasted almonds are quite addictive. Addition of freshly pounded coriander must have enhanced the flavor of roasted almonds.
I have a house full of snackers and these savory almonds sound like the perfect treat for them 🙂
I too make roasted almonds often at home, this version with pepper and coriander sounds yummy.
lovely flavor profile with this protein packed snack
