It is a nice snack, if you can contain yourself.
Hey! Are you hungry? Got the munchies?
This recipe makes a great snack. Almonds fill you up quickly, and have vital nutrients. I remember hearing my wife’s doctor insisting that someone eat almonds every day. Let me tell you, she is a doctor you would not want to argue with. Here you are Dr. Benjamin, with a few tweaks:
BBQ Roasted Almonds
Serves 10
Ingredients:
- 1 kg (about 2 lbs) raw almonds
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) butter
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) soy sauce
- 50 grams (4 tablespoons) smoked paprika (link goes to my Amazon store)
- 10 grams (2 teaspoons) kosher salt (to taste)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. (Make sure it does not brown!)
- Add almonds, toss to coat evenly.
- Add soy sauce, paprika, and salt; toss to coat evenly.
- Spread out evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until crunchy.
- Pack in an airtight container, and try and keep your hands off of them.

Oh, sure. Get me all excited until I click on the link to the smoked paprika and find out it’s listed as unavailable . . . evil!
I eat a lot of almonds and walnuts, and this will be nice for a change up once in a while. I can use regular paprika for now.
HA! contain myself. nope. i don’t buy almonds simply because of that fact. and those sweet & spicy pecans at Trader Joe’s ohhh forgetaboutit! Help me!
@Mike – Ha! Now you know the masterplan! I can’t believe that it is not available. Perhaps a call to the people at Amazon will change that!
@vanillasugar – Oh, I know the evils of sweet and spicy pecans. I know I can’t contain myself. Thing is, do I care? LOL. I am searching for a way to have my Pralines again. I am sure there is a way to do it, and hopefully one day. More important now is the blood sugar control.
On the flip side, there are so many things that I enjoy now that I would not have before. An example (in an upcoming post) is a breakfast of salmon, arugula pesto and lemon roasted asparagus. I am drooling thinking of it right now. Ta Ta for now! Hope that helped!
I love almond like this, I usually buy them but I was wonder what they put in them (chemicals??) but with your version I feel much safer. GREG
@Mike – I have added another version of the spices to my store, so hopefully that helps you out! ~Sandeman
@GREG – Thank you for that! I second your motion. It is more important than ever to know what you are putting in your body. Your life might depend on it, sooner or later.
