- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
1 1/2 cups
ingredients
- 25 g whole blanched almonds (30g = 1oz, so just under an ounce, though precise measurements aren't crucial here)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
directions
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan, over a medium heat, add the almonds, stirring frequently until they are well-coated with the oil and golden. Do not have the oil too hot as the almonds will then brown and their middles will still be raw.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl to make the spice mix.
- Transfer the almonds to a plate using a slotted spoon and sprinkle with the spice mix.
- Cool before serving.

We also buy almonds in bulk form and I'm always looking for different ways to spice them up. This is a great combination of spices, sweet and salty with the paprika and cumin undertones. I used about a tablespoon of the olive oil to 1 1/2 cups of almonds and that was plenty. Made for ZWT5, Hell's Kitchen Angels.

I love this recipe BlueMoon. All the flavors of the spices come thru wonderfully. I used the regular smoked paprika. (not hot). I"m eating them as they're still warm, and oh are they good. I eat a handful (more?) a day as they are listed as one of the top 3 foods you should eat everyday for health reasons. Mostly I eat them raw and buy in bulk form. Now, I have another healthy alternative!!! And, so quick and easy. I had them done from start to finish in under 10 minutes. Made for PRMR.~

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
