Over the weekend, I made my usual trip to Whole Foods for my groceries.  I picked up about a pound of raw almonds.  When I got home I decided I’d try to roast them myself. 

I heated my oven up to around 200-250*.  I put a piece of foil over my cookie sheet and drizzled it with almond oil.  Then I dumped the almonds on the sheet and tossed them around a bit, coating them in a little oil.  Then, I grabbed my new favorite marinade, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, and doused the almonds.

Not sure exactly how long they were in there, cause I went to take a nap, but I’d guess they roasted for about 40-45 minutes.  Holy mackerel, those almonds were good! 

The Bragg’s are sorta soy sauce-y, so the almonds have a nice salty taste to them, without the crazy sodium!  I’ve been using this stuff to marinate chicken, salmon and veggies… it’s possibilities are endless.  Much like my old pal ketchup!

Tell ‘em to try it, y’all!
