Step 1

Place the almond in a large jar and cover with water. Soak for 12 hours. Drain off the water and spread the almonds onto a few paper towels and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (conventional), or 130 °C/ 265 °F (fan assisted) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Step 2

In a medium sized bowl toss the dry almonds with the olive oil and spices. Spread the almonds out in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Transfer to oven and bake 45 minutes tossing occasionally. After 45 minutes they should be dry and crunchy. If they’re still wet in the middle continue to bake until your desired texture is reached.
