Some Marconas commonly available in grocery stores have already been toasted and tossed with olive oil. If that’s the case, simply add the sugar, lavender and salt, and toss.

Ingredients

1 pound Marcona almonds

6 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 1/4 teaspoons ground dried food-grade lavender

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1.

Preheat to 300 degrees.
2.

Spread almonds on a baking sheet and roast, tossing them occasionally, until they are golden brown all the way through and not burned or bitter, about 20 minutes.
3.

Set aside and allow to cool completely.
4.

Transfer nuts to a bowl, and add sugar, olive oil, lavender and salt.
5.

Toss to coat the nuts evenly with the seasonings.
6.

Eat immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature.
7.

If almonds dry out, add a little olive oil to help the seasonings adhere. Makes: about 3 cups
