    Life Script

    Recipe Introduction


    Salty, sweet and laced with smoke — the perfect kind of almond for a party. If any remain the next day, savor them over a salad topped with sliced ripe pears and shaved Manchego cheese.

    List of Ingredients




    Spiced Spanish Almonds


    1/4 cup light brown sugar
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon hot paprika
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 large egg white
    1 tablespoon water
    1 pound (about 3 cups) Marcona or raw whole almonds, (see Tip)

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 275°F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

    Whisk brown sugar, cumin , paprika, thyme, salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk egg white and water in a medium bowl until foamy. Add almonds and stir to coat; pour through a sieve to drain off excess egg white. Transfer the almonds to the bowl of spices; stir well to coat. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

    Bake the almonds for 30 minutes. Stir, reduce the oven temperature to 200° and bake until the almonds are dry and golden, about 30 minutes more. Let cool before serving, about 20 minutes.

    Tip:
    Tip: Spanish Marcona almonds have recently become more popular and more available. They’re a little flatter than ordinary almonds, with a richer flavor. Always skinned, most Marcona almonds have already been sautéed in oil and lightly salted when you get them. For this recipe, select unsalted and oil-free nuts if you can, though either will work well. Find them in specialty stores or online at tienda.com.
