Ginger Roasted Almonds

Preheat your oven to 250°F.

1 1/2 cups whole raw almonds
2 tbsp agave nectar (amber or dark)
2 tbsp warm water
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cane sugar (optional)

Heat the agave, water, oil, and ginger in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. After the mixture has started to heat through, stir in the almonds to coat and evenly sprinkle on the salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the almonds from the heat and spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes. After removing, you can sprinkle the almonds with the sugar, if using. Allow the almonds to cool completely before storing.
