Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven and oil the almonds

    Heat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Toss the almonds with the olive oil.

  2. 2

    Roast until fragrant

    ⏱ 13 min 30 sec

    Spread on a tray and roast for 12–15 minutes, shaking once, until fragrant and lightly darkened. Watch closely: nuts burn fast.

  3. 3

    Season while warm

    While still warm, toss the almonds with the smoked paprika, cumin, salt and cayenne.

  4. 4

    Cool and store

    Cool completely: they crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight jar.

Notes

The most calorie-dense snack in this set, so stick to a small handful (about ¾ oz (20 g)). Filling and full of healthy fats, but easy to overdo. Portion them out rather than eating from the jar.
