Is it can be achieve by re-crystallization?

I believe spherical granules are formed by spraying the hot saturated solution from the top of a tall cylindrical tower, up which, heated air is being
blown.
If you look up the industrial preparation of ammonium nitrate granules, you should find a fuller description of this process, it's fairly common.
It's not really suited to home use, as the towers need to be 20 - 30 metres tall.

All sorts of chemicals are made in to prills using this process.
They are more easily handled than crystals or fine powders that can pack or cake.
