How to Make Toasted Lemon Almonds

FIRST: Preheat oven to 300F. Place almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer.

SECOND: Toast for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Watch carefully! If you smell the almonds, they are ready. When toasted, place in a mixing bowl.

THIRD: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Pour over the toasted almonds and stir to combine.

FOURTH: I pour the almonds onto a paper towel after a few minutes to soak up the excess olive oil. Store in an air-tight container until you eat them all or for a week, whichever comes first.

I found that 30 minutes at 300 wasn’t enough to really toast the almonds. I recommend tasting after 30 minutes and then returning to the oven if needed. Either that, or consider boosting the temp. I’ve seen other recipes that toast almonds at 375 or even 400.
