Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almonds
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon Tajin seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Dry roast the almonds in the oven preheated at 375 F for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Let them cool down and transfer to a bowl with cocoa powder, honey and coconut oil.
  • Mix well to ensure all the almonds are coated nicely.
  • Arrange on a lined baking sheet and roast again for 10-12 minutes. Top with Tajin seasoning and sea salt.

Notes

  • If you can't find Tajin, just use a dash of cayenne or cinnamon for that bit of heat to cut through the sweetness.
  • You can also try using a mix of different nuts like cashews, hazelnuts and pecans in addition to the almonds. 
  • If you're using roasted almonds, cut down the oven time by a few minutes to ensure the almonds don't end up burning.
  • You can also air fry the almonds if you don't want to turn on the oven- make sure you cut down the roasting time by 5 minutes.
