Spiced Almonds
Ingredients

Vegetable oil spray
1 lb blanched almonds
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
Cayenne
2 tbsp honey
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a shallow roasting pan or baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Spread the almonds in single layer and toast for 17 minutes, or until browned but not too dark. Remove and let cool. Keep the oven turned on.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, paprika, and cloves, if using. Season to taste with cayenne. When the nuts are cool, drizzle with honey and toss.

Sprinkle the spice mixture on the nuts, toss again until the nuts are covered evenly. Put back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until nuts are brown and shiny. Remove and let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a week.
