Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 In a large bowl, toss the almonds with the olive oil. 3 Spread almonds out on a sheet pan in a single layer. (Keep the mixing bowl handy – you will need it again.) 4 While oven heats, mix the spices, salt, and sugar in a small bowl; set aside. 5 Bake almonds for 10 minutes. 6 Remove pan from oven and carefully pour the hot almonds back into the mixing bowl. 7 Sprinkle spices over the nuts and toss well with a spoon. 8 Pour the seasoned almonds back onto the sheet pan and return to the oven for 5 minutes. 9 Remove from oven and let nuts cool completely on pan. 10 Store cooled nuts in a covered container.
