Description

Making Chinese Five Spice Almonds is a simple and tasty way to enjoy a snack that's both savory and a little sweet. This recipe serves 8 and uses basic ingredients like almonds, light soy sauce, honey (or rice malt syrup), Chinese five-spice powder, and a bit of sea salt. You'll also need a baking tray lined with baking paper. Here's how you make them: First, heat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the almonds on your prepared tray and bake them for about 10 minutes until they start to smell deliciously nutty. After baking, mix the soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder in a bowl, then toss the almonds in this mixture to coat them well. Spread them back out on the tray and bake again for 15-18 minutes, giving them a stir now and then, until they're nicely browned and dry. Once done, you can add a little salt to taste.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Warming Up

    Preheat oven to a 150°C (300°F/Gas Mark 2), setting the stage for a slow and even roasting process.

  2. First Roast

    Arrange the almonds in a single, even layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the warm oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until they release a rich, nutty aroma. Keep the oven turned on after this step.

  3. Seasoning the Almonds

    After roasting, carefully transfer the almonds into a heatproof bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder until combined. Pour this flavorful mixture over the warm almonds, stirring well to ensure each almond is evenly coated.

  4. Second Roast for Perfection

    Spread the coated almonds back out onto the baking tray, maintaining a single layer for even cooking. Return them to the oven, this time stirring them occasionally, for about 15-18 minutes. They should emerge dry to the touch and browned.

  5. Final Touches

    Before serving, give the almonds a taste test and season with a little salt if necessary to balance the sweet and savory flavors. Enjoy them warm as a cozy snack, or allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
