Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm but not smoking, add the raw almonds to the skillet in a single layer.
Stir the almonds frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
After about 8-10 minutes, the almonds should turn golden brown and develop a nutty aroma. Be careful not to overcook them.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fried almonds to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
While the almonds are still warm, sprinkle them with sea salt and smoked paprika (if using). Toss gently to coat evenly.
Allow the almonds to cool for a few minutes before serving. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve as an appetizer or snack and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
