CUMIN-AND-PAPRIKA-SPICED MARCONA ALMONDS



Cumin-and-Paprika-Spiced Marcona Almonds image

Almonds were brought to Spain by the Moors, and they've featured in Andalusian cuisine ever since. Typically they are used as a thickener for sauces and, most famously, as the base of ajo blanco. Whole Marcona almonds are roasted with sweet or hot smoked paprika-I prefer to use sweet paprika, introduce a little heat via cayenne, and round it out with cumin and salt. In the event of a crippling Marcona almond shortage, regular blanched almonds will do the trick.

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon cumin, for dusting
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon sweet or smoked Spanish paprika, for dusting

3 cups blanched Marcona almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
