Marcona Almonds With Sea Salt And Lavender Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Finely grind lavender in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle (you should have about 2 tsp.).
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring once, until golden, 15 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sugar, lavender, and salt and toss again to coat.

Steps:

• Place the almonds in a serving bowl and sprinkle with sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the almonds, olive oil, thyme, and kosher salt on a sheet pan and toss them together. Roast the almonds for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes with a metal spatula, until they're lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they go from under baked to burnt very quickly. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel, toss, and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F Roast the almonds on a baking sheet until fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Grind the lavender very fine in a coffee grinder, or with a mortar and pestle.
• In a bowl, toss the almonds with the lavender, sugar, salt and olive oil to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the almonds, olive oil, thyme and kosher salt on a sheet pan and toss them together. Roast the almonds for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes with a metal spatula, until they're lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they go from underbaked to burnt very quickly.
• Sprinkle with fleur de sel, toss and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Store the cooled nuts in a sealed container at room temperature for a week or two.)

Steps:

• Lightly coat a nonstick baking mat or a piece of parchment with oil, and place on a heatproof surface. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, tilting pan to swirl and washing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Boil, without stirring, until mixture turns pale amber, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in almonds. Pour mixture onto center of prepared surface, and sprinkle with fleur de sel. Let stand just until the edges are cool enough to handle. Working quickly and using gloved hands lightly coated with oil, pull pieces of caramel and almonds away from the center until caramel starts to harden and you are able to pull long, thin pieces before they break away. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. Repeat. (If praline begins to harden, place on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven until pliable; you can do this only once before the sugar begins to crystallize.)
