"I love all almonds but I'm in love with marcona almonds," says chef Randy Zweiban. At the restaurant, he cold-smokes the buttery Spanish almonds, then roasts them with a mix of smoky spices.
1/4 teaspoon Pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 pound marcona almonds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, mix the cumin with the sugar, pepper, coriander, chile powder, smoked paprika and salt. Add the almonds and toss to coat with the spice mixture. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, stirring halfway through baking, until lightly toasted. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make Ahead
The toasted almonds can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
