Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound roasted, salted Marcona almonds
2 teaspoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the almonds, olive oil, thyme, and kosher salt on a sheet pan and toss them together. Roast the almonds for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes with a metal spatula, until they're lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they go from under baked to burnt very quickly. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel, toss, and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

With the high price of Marcona almonds imported from Spain I was happy to find a recipe that produces a very close facsimile at a fraction of the cost, but uses California almonds. This was adapted from an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle. Hope you like them.
