Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a non-stick cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Spread the almonds in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
- Remove the almonds from the oven and transfer them into a container with a lid (note: see caution below regarding using a plastic lid).
- Add tamari to the almonds in the container. Cover the container securely with a lid and shake gently to evenly coat the almonds with tamari.
- Return the almonds to the baking sheet and place them back in the oven for about 5 minutes. This step helps to dry out any excess tamari and ensure the almonds are crispy.
- Watch closely to prevent burning. Tamari can darken quickly if overcooked.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or incorporate them into your favorite dishes.
Recipe Notes:
- Caution: When using a container with a lid to coat hot almonds with tamari, be mindful of the steam build-up which can cause pressure. Use a container with a lid that allows steam to escape or cover with a larger plate instead of a sealed lid to prevent accidents.
