Chipotle Roasted Almonds

By cecelia26_

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ground chipotle chili pepper
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 1/2 cups whole natural almonds
• 1 tablespoon almond oil

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together chipotle, sugar and salt in a small bowl, and set aside. Heat almonds and almond oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, stirring and shaking pan occasionally, until almonds' skins are popping and almonds are fragrant. Turn heat to medium-low and stir in chipotle mixture; heat and shake skillet for about 30 seconds, to release chipotles' oils. Transfer to a bowl and let cool just slightly before serving warm.
