Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw almonds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is warm but not smoking, add the raw almonds to the skillet in a single layer.

Step 3

Stir the almonds frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure they cook evenly without burning.

Step 4

After about 8-10 minutes, the almonds should turn golden brown and develop a nutty aroma. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fried almonds to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 6

While the almonds are still warm, sprinkle them with sea salt and smoked paprika (if using). Toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 7

Allow the almonds to cool for a few minutes before serving. They will become crispier as they cool.

Step 8

Serve as an appetizer or snack and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
