Spiced Roasted Almonds

5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (about 400 grams) almonds
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    Toss the almonds with olive oil, salt and cayenne, and place on a baking sheet.
  3. 3
    Roast in the hot oven until they begin to crackle and smell toasty, 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Be careful when you open the oven door because the capsicum in the cayenne is quite volatile, so avoid breathing in, and be careful of your eyes.
  5. 5
    Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  6. 6
    Toss with the thyme.
