Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (I used my cast iron skillet, though any skillet will work).
  2. Add garlic to the skillet and saute for 3-5 minutes, until the garlic is almost brown. If your garlic begins to burn at any time, be sure to remove it or the burnt garlic flavor will ruin this dish.
  3. Add the smoked paprika, salt, chili and cayenne and stir to make a paste.
  4. Add the almonds and stir constantly until they are thoroughly coated.
  5. Continue toasting the almonds in the skillet until they are fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and allow the nuts to cool in the pan.
