Thyme and fennel roasted almonds

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 cup raw almonds

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Toss almonds in a little of the oil. Place them in a single layer in a baking pan and roast for 8-10 minutes.

In a small frypan, toast fennel seeds for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan continuously, until slightly brown and aromatic.

Note

  • It’s always a good idea to check on the nuts a couple of times during roasting to ensure they’re not burning.
  • Package up roasted nuts in cellophane bags and decorate with twine and a small sprig of thyme.
  • I have used fresh thyme in this recipe but you could substitute dried.
  • Use rosemary instead of thyme if you prefer.
