CUMIN-AND-PAPRIKA-SPICED MARCONA ALMONDS



Cumin-and-Paprika-Spiced Marcona Almonds image

Almonds were brought to Spain by the Moors, and they've featured in Andalusian cuisine ever since. Typically they are used as a thickener for sauces and, most famously, as the base of ajo blanco. Whole Marcona almonds are roasted with sweet or hot smoked paprika-I prefer to use sweet paprika, introduce a little heat via cayenne, and round it out with cumin and salt. In the event of a crippling Marcona almond shortage, regular blanched almonds will do the trick.

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon cumin, for dusting
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon sweet or smoked Spanish paprika, for dusting

3 cups blanched Marcona almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, salt, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and the cayenne. Add the almonds and toss to coat.
  • Spread the almonds out evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through. Transfer to a plate to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of cumin and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of paprika. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooled nuts. Store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Marcona almonds. Look for almonds that are plump, evenly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Toast the almonds before using them. Toasting brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Use a variety of spices. Cumin and paprika are the main spices in this recipe, but you can also add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When roasting the almonds, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Watch the almonds carefully. They can burn easily, so be sure to stir them frequently.
  • Let the almonds cool completely before serving. This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Cumin and paprika spiced Marcona almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or road trips. You can also use them to add a crunchy and flavorful topping to salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.
