Almonds are good for you. I read recently that we should eat twelve a day to keep heart healthy. Now these almonds are not quite as healthy, gilded as they are with a bit of butter and a sweet spicy glaze. But a touch of decadence is almost always a good thing.
Sweet and Spicy Almonds
Makes 2 1/2 cups.
2 1/2 cups raw almonds
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roast the almonds in a baking dish about ten minutes, until fragrant and toasted.
Transfer the nuts to a bowl and toss with the butter. Sprinkle the sugar, salt and cayenne over the nuts and toss to coat. Let cool slighly before serving.
