Easy Almond Brittle (4 Ingredients!)

The idea for this brittle came to me one night when I was about to drift off to sleep (as many ideas do). I dreamt of a brittled almond cookie with serious crunch, so we started there. But after a few failed attempts we stopped trying to separate them into clumps and just made almond brittle on a baking sheet, and it was the best, happiest semi-accidental decision ever! 

What’s it like? This is like grown-up peanut brittle but with wholesome almonds, natural sweeteners, and no butter in sight.

Parsnips don’t get much love, and we think that should change. Perhaps this recipe will convince you to give them a try!

Why we love them as fries: They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, cook really fast, and have the texture of a sweet potato fry with the taste of a potato-carrot hybrid (so good, right?). And when tossed in a bit of oil, salt, and our go-to vibrant curry powder, the flavors are perfectly balanced.
