Spicy Cumin Almonds
Although not the most important thing, let's face it, the holidays are about eating! So, why not provide a snack that doesn't necessarily mean you are adding to the weight factor that most people have to deal with around the celebratory time of year? So, whether you are looking for a low fat snack or wanting to add some nibbles to your holiday appetizer menu, these delicious almonds fit the bill.
If you are planning a party, these flavorful almonds are a simple and wonderful munchie to go with cocktails.
What you'll need:
- 2 cups whole almonds (blanched)
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cumin (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (freshly)
First, preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Then, place the almonds in a baking pan and toss with the oil, cumin, and salt and pepper. Next, bake until the almonds are lightly toasted. This should take about 25 minutes. Finally, just let your spicy almonds cool on a wire rack.
Here's a variation: Instead of using cumin, use curry powder and cayenne pepper in place of cumin and black pepper.
To make ahead: The almonds will keep in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Enjoy!
