Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- 2
Tip the almonds into a bowl. Add the oil and toss until every nut is lightly coated.
- 3
Stir in the paprika, garlic granules, salt and cumin so the nuts look evenly red.
- 4
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the tray. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the tray halfway, until they smell toasty and have turned a shade darker.
13 min - 5
Tip them straight into a clean bowl and toss with the lemon zest. They are soft when hot and crunch up as they cool.
- 6
Leave for 15 minutes, then serve warm or store in a jar for up to a week.
