Chai Spiced Almonds By: Siobhan

Merry Christmas Everyone! Today I have a new recipe for you. It makes a great last minute Christmas gift, and it uses very few ingredients. These Chai Spiced Almonds are absolutely delicious and easy to throw together. I got the recipe out of the Weelicious Lunches cookbook. Let's get started...
Ingredients:
1 12 oz. bag raw almonds
2 T honey
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom 
1/2 tsp. salt
Non-stick spray
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and roast almonds for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Place almonds in a bowl and drizzle with honey. 
Step 3: Sprinkle the spices over the nuts.
Step 4: Toss the almonds until every nut is evenly coated.
Step 5: Spray baking pan with non-stick spray. Put almonds back in the pan and bake for 8 minutes.
Let the almonds cool completely. 
If I bake the almonds for our family to eat, I simply put them back in whatever container they came in. I made this batch for a gift, so I put these in some mini treat bags. You can put them in a little gift box like the one above if you are giving them to someone with a gift card or small gift.
