Salted Almonds
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.
Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake and serve
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally.
Let cool before serving.

What each ingredient does
- Almonds
- Provide the crunchy, nutty base that toasting turns golden and aromatic.
- Coarse sea salt
- Adds savory seasoning and a contrast to the sweet, toasted nut flavor.
The step that matters
Bake until golden, stirring occasionally. Almonds go from golden to bitter within a short time. Stirring spreads heat evenly so pale and dark nuts are avoided, and the nuts keep cooking briefly after leaving the oven.
