- 2. Keep the almonds moving, constantly stirring them in the oil. It might seem like there is too much oil, but it's OK.

- 4. With a slotted spoon, transfer the almonds to a paper towel-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Shake the tray to disperse the salt through the almonds.
- 5. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes and transfer to serving dish.
