Thyme-Toasted Almonds

Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2. 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves only
3. 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
4. 4 ounces whole, unblanched almonds

1. Preheat oven to 400°. 2. In a large, shallow bowl, combine oil, thyme and salt. Set aside. 
2. Place the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and toast until the nuts are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately add the hot nuts to the oil/salt/ thyme mixture. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
