Smoked Paprika Almonds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Spread the almonds onto an ungreased baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almonds are golden brown and giving off a toasted aroma. Watch carefully after 7 minutes because they burn quickly.

2. While the nuts are toasting, combine the sea salt and the smoked paprika in a small spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind to combine into a fine powder.

3. Once the almonds are out of the oven, drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Add extra oil if not all the nuts are coated. Sprinkle with the salt and paprika mixture and stir again. Transfer to serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
