Dry Roasted Popcorn Almonds

If I were to be honest. I made these almonds taste like this by mistake. Although, I am glad I made the mistake. I ran out of olive oil & was trying to figure out what to use & I saw my husband purchased this ghee with turmeric & I thought to myself “hmm, this should do the trick”. Once I made the snack & tasted, I was shock. I tried it a couple more times & instantly thought of popcorn.

When my husband came home, I had to ask for his opinion (that’s the best taste tester, other than your kids) & he said it was really good & he can taste the popcorn flavor.

What is great about this recipe is you can simply change the flavor of the almonds just by using a different oil like avocado which has a more neural flavor. Neutral flavor oils will allow you to manipulate the flavor with specifically the seasonings.

The next flavor I am going to try is a sweet one. Let me know in the comments below if this is a recipe you’ll be interested in me creating but low carb style.

I know you will enjoy this one so I would love to hear your thoughts down below.

Saphia’s Tips

If you don't have ghee, you can use any other oil but the popcorn flavor wont be there. The almonds will have a different taste depending on what oil you use with the seasoning.
