Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Finely grind lavender in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle (you should have about 2 tsp.).

  2. Preheat oven to 300 °F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring once, until golden, 15 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sugar, lavender, and salt and toss again to coat.

Why this Lavender Marcona Almonds works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Lavender Marcona Almonds works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
