Ingredients

  • 3 cups (about 400 grams) almonds
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme (optional)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Toss the almonds with olive oil, salt and cayenne, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the hot oven until they begin to crackle and smell toasty, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Be careful when you open the oven door because the capsicum in the cayenne is quite volatile, so avoid breathing in, and be careful of your eyes.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Toss with the thyme.
