Warm-Spiced Almonds

Yield: 2 cups

The spice in the almonds is perfect for the Merlot and many other red wines with bright fruit. Try these almonds with a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese or chopped and sprinkled over a spinach salad.

  • 2 cups whole almonds
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon each ground turmeric, cinnamon and cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and olive oil. Sprinkle the spices and salt over and toss well to coat nuts evenly.

3. Spread nuts in 1 layer on a sheet pan and roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the almonds start to split. Stir 3 times during roasting to promote even toasting.

4. Serve the nuts warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
