Spiced and Roasted Almonds of Valensole
This quick-to-make snack is perfect for a cocktail hour or just to have in the pantry (if you don't eat them all before you can store them). Tasty roasted almonds with a hint of spice make them an incredible snack for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw almonds shelled, with their skins
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp fleur de sel
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp hot smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ras el Hanout
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C/ 300°F.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- In a big bowl, beat the egg white until it mousses. Pour in the almonds and toss them, or, using your hands, turn until an even coating of egg white is distributed over the almonds. Leave for about five (5) minutes so the skin begins to plump a little.
- Mix the sugar, salt, and spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the nuts and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread them on the baking sheet and bake them for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir them. Remove them from the oven and let them cool. If you can resist eating them all, they will be kept in a jar for a couple of weeks if you can resist eating them!
