Salty Smoky Roasted Almonds
The cumin and coriander give the almonds a smoky flavor while the half sharp Hungarian paprika adds a bit of heat. These almonds are wonderful to snack on.

You will need:
1 cup raw almonds
1 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon Hungarian half sharp paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
Pre-heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, pour the almonds and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Mix well, ensuring that the almonds are well covered with oil. This allows the spices to stick to the nuts. Sprinkle the spices and salt on the nuts and combine well. Then spread the almonds out on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes or until lightly roasted. Turn the nuts halfway through so that one side doesn’t get burned. You will smell when they are ready, as a nutty scent will tickle your nose. If you like your nuts very salty, when they are done, season with some more salt and allow to cool. They will keep for a week in a sealed bottle.
