Pumpkin Pie Roasted Almonds

These are genius!  

Before baking smothered in spiced honey mixture.

After baking covered with a salty coating.

Made enough to fill 2, 5 inch tall Mason jars.

No oil or butter required.  All you need is honey and vanilla extract to hold these almonds together.  Don't forget to add a hint of sea salt at the end; this adds a balance that only salt can master when paired with sweet honey and spicy cinnamon.  Not to mention it really makes these pumpkin pie spiced almonds pop!  Be sure to bake these for 18 minutes or check them at the 18 minute mark because they will burn.  Separate the cooled almonds individually or keep them clustered together for more of an almond brittle effect.  Either way, they are fabulous atop Greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, or by the handful.  My new favorite seasonal snack :)
