- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning (or pepper combination listed below)
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (or other coarse salt)

How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F (180C or gas mark 4).

Step 2: In a bowl toss the almonds, butter, sugar, and Cajun seasoning (Cajun seasoning substitute: 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper).
-
Step 3: Pour the nut and spice mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally until nuts are one shade darker - about 25 minutes. *Note - the time may be less if you are using almonds that are already roasted.
