Hey Cruiser.
So I threw an Almond recipe together for my family over the holidays and for my Crossfit Gym members (Paleo) and now they all are buying them from me for $15 /pound! I'm no expert, but this is what I did:
Family batch [not as healthy]: (Per pound)
1/2 stick of butter, melted
1/4 cup canola oil
~3 TBS Garlic powder
~3 TBS Onion powder
~4 TBS sea salt
Toss Raw almonds in the above mixture to coat. Lay flat in tray sprinkle with more sea salt and cook at 250 degrees over Hickory wood stirring and adding sea salt every 20-30 minutes. Done around 2-2.5 hours. Don't let them burn, keep stirring.
Gym batch[Paleo] (per pound)
1/4 cup of Ghee (Clarified butter), melted
1/4 cup Olive or Coconut oil
~3 TBS Garlic powder
~3 TBS Onion powder
~4 TBS sea salt
Toss Raw almonds in the above mixture to coat. Lay flat in tray sprinkle with more sea salt and cook at 250 degrees over Hickory wood stirring and adding sea salt every 20-30 minutes. Done around 1.5 - 2 hours. Don't let them burn, keep stirring. (Seems the Clarified butter burns easier, so watch them closely)
I attached a picture of beginning and end
