Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Place the almonds on a dry cookie sheet and spread into an even layer.Bake for 5-6 minutes until evenly golden brown and toasted. Be careful not to burn, nuts toast quickly!

Step 3

In the meantime, combine the salt, garlic granueles, paprika, smoked praprika, and cayenne in a bowl and stir. Set aside for now.

Step 4

When the almonds are toasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1/3 of the spice mixture. Toss well to coat. Then sprinkle in another 1/3 of the spice mixture and taste. I sometimes add more of the spice mixture here but more often than not, I'll just add an extra pinch or two of salt. Seaosn as desired, you may not use all of the spice mixture. Serve warm and enjoy!
