COCOA ROAST ALMONDS - recipe courtesy of Health Bent

(check out their website for some AMAZING Paleo recipes - one of the best sites out there!!)

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups of raw almonds

1 egg white

1/4 cup of water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white, vanilla extract and water.

In a zip-top bag, add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Seal the bag and shake it around to get everything incorporated.

Add 1 cup of almonds to the egg whites and use a slotted spoon or fork (or nature’s fork–your hands) to coat all the almonds. Then using your “fork” put all the almonds in the cocoa/sugar zip-top bag. Seal it well and shake it around to coat all the almonds.

Place the almonds on a baking sheet.Repeat the egg white and cocoa steps above with the other cup of almonds. Don’t worry if you get the cocoa powder on the baking sheet–it won’t do any harm.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

If you’d like them a bit sweeter, you can add the cooled, roasted almonds to a zip-top bag along with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and toss them around.

Keep the almonds stored in a zip-top bag.
