SPICED ROASTED ALMONDS



Spiced Roasted Almonds image

Roasted nuts are standard snacks, and almonds are a healthy food. But it is easy to eat too many. I find that if they are a little spicy or hot, delicious as they are, they are not quite as addictive.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups (about 20 handfuls)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups (about 400 grams) almonds
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the almonds with olive oil, salt and cayenne, and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the hot oven until they begin to crackle and smell toasty, 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful when you open the oven door because the capsicum in the cayenne is quite volatile, so avoid breathing in, and be careful of your eyes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Toss with the thyme.

FIVE-SPICE ROASTED CARROTS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS



Five-Spice Roasted Carrots With Toasted Almonds image

A complex combination of fennel seeds, anise, clove, cinnamon and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder is a crucial ingredient in the Chinese pantry that also happens to be deeply versatile. It can be used as a dry rub for roast chicken, tossed with sautéed vegetables or sprinkled over toasted nuts. Here, five-spice powder, along with a bright splash of vinegar and ginger, dresses up simple roasted carrots. Preheating your baking sheet in the oven will help caramelize and crisp your vegetables, and will also speed up cooking time.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt
2 bunches carrots (about 2 pounds), trimmed and scrubbed, halved lengthwise if large
1/4 cup unsalted, raw almonds
1/4 cup sliced chives (about 1 small bunch)
1 to 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Arrange one oven rack at the top and one at the bottom of the oven. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the five-spice powder, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Transfer carrots to the hot baking sheet and arrange in an even layer and roast, on the bottom rack, until the carrots are tender and browned all over, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While carrots are roasting, toast almonds on a separate baking sheet, on the top rack, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool, then finely chop and transfer to a large bowl or serving platter. Add the chives, vinegar, ginger and remaining olive oil to the almonds, and season with salt. Add roasted carrots and toss to coat. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest almonds: Fresh almonds will have a sweeter flavor and a crispier texture.
  • Roast the almonds before adding the spice rub: This will help the almonds to become more flavorful and give them a slightly crunchy texture.
  • Use a variety of spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blend. Some popular spices to use include paprika, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little heat: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice rub.
  • Toast the almonds until they are golden brown: Keep a close eye on the almonds while they are toasting, as they can burn quickly.
  • Let the almonds cool completely before serving: This will help the spice rub to set and the almonds to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Toasted spice rub almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads, yogurt, or trail mix.
