Ingredients
- 2 cups Marcona almonds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, orange zest, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to create a fragrant spice mixture.
Step 3
Add the Marcona almonds to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Drizzle the honey over the almonds and toss again to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the almonds are lightly toasted and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the almonds with kosher salt while still warm.
Step 8
Allow the almonds to cool slightly before serving, as they will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
