Take 500g (3 cups) raw almonds and spread onto one layer on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 150c for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Warm ¼ cup tamari soy sauce with ½ tsp sugar and stir till dissolved. Pour over the hot almonds and let rest 5 minutes,  stirring around occasionally to ensure the almonds are well coated.

Transfer the almonds back to the baking tray using a slotted spoon (in order to ensure none of the liquid is transferred over. Discard the remaining liquid. Put the almonds back in the oven for another 25 minutes, turning them over occasionally to ensure an even roasting. To test if done slice an almond in half. It should be lightly golden inside.

Goes great with a NEGRONI COCKTAIL.
