A quick and simple recipe: I had these almonds in the oven and the clean-up done within fifteen minutes.
I do like them, though don't think they're worth raving about the way I have with some other gems I've found in the yellow box. There are sugared nut recipes I prefer over this one, but this sure was a super easy way to turn a bag of plain almonds into a tasty snack!
The recipe didn't say to stir the nuts while baking, but I got concerned and stirred them at the halfway point, just in case. Bad idea. They clumped up and took a couple of minutes to spread back out evenly in the pan, and it ended up being pointless, because the few nuts I didn't stir turned out just fine, and looked nicer with a smooth sugar coating (front/bottom of the photo).
I'm glad I had a nonstick mat to protect the baking sheet - I highly recommend using one, or at least a layer of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
I let them cool completely, then broke the nuts apart to store.
