Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.
- Stir together the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside.
- Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper and black pepper and stir to distribute evenly in skillet. Add almonds and stir to coat with oil-pepper mixture. Cook until almonds begin to darken slightly and mixture is fragrant, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle generously with coarse salt. Cool completely. DO AHEAD: Chile-roasted nuts can be made 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use good quality almonds: Opt for almonds that are fresh, plump, and free of blemishes. Avoid almonds that are shriveled or discolored.
- Roast the almonds before using: Roasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Use a variety of spices: The chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper give these almonds a delicious smoky and spicy flavor. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Add some sweetness: The honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness that balances out the spiciness of the almonds. You can also use brown sugar or agave syrup.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the almonds.
Conclusion:
These chili spiced almonds are a delicious and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover almonds. With their smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor, these almonds are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
