2
cups whole unsalted almonds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over a medium heat, stirring
frequently, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a
bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper and
salt. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir the spices into
the oil and cook, stirring until warm, about 30 seconds. Add the almonds
and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts are warm and the spices
are evenly distributed. Add the hot pepper sauce and stir to distribute.
Remove the almonds from the pan and allow them to cool before serving.
