Yield 12 1/4 cup servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot paprika or 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 lb marcona almonds (about 3 cups) or 1 lb raw whole almond (about 3 cups)
cooking spray

Steps:

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 to egg mixture 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 200F and bake until almonds are dry and golden, about 30 minutes more.
Let cool before serving, 15 to 20 minutes.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
NOTE: 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 sauteed 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. You can find them in specialty stores.

Tips:

Choose the right almonds: Look for raw, whole almonds that are not blanched or roasted. You can use either Marcona almonds or California almonds for this recipe.
Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
Use a variety of spices: The combination of spices in this recipe is what gives the almonds their unique flavor. You can use more or less of each spice to adjust the flavor to your liking.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are toasting the almonds, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from toasting evenly.
Watch the almonds closely: When you are toasting the almonds, watch them closely so that they don't burn.
Let the almonds cool completely: After you have toasted the almonds, let them cool completely before you store them. This will help them to stay crisp.

Conclusion:

These spiced Spanish almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just to enjoy at home. With a variety of spices and a crunchy texture, these almonds are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
