snack time

I receive newsletters from Jillian Michaels' website daily and every once in a while she will send out different healthy recipes. Today she sent out a recipe for a snack and I thought I would share with you guys.

Cumin-Roasted Almonds
2 cups whole blanched almonds

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Place almonds on a baking sheet; toss with oil, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Bake until lightly toasted, about 25 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack.
Variation: Use curry powder and cayenne pepper in place of cumin and black pepper.
To make ahead: The almonds will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Makes 32 servings.

HAPPY SNACKING!
