Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 cups (200 grams) pecan halves unsalted
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher sea salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add olive oil and heat for 30 seconds, tilting the pan so the oil coats the bottom.
  • Add the pecans and spread along the bottom. Leave for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to brown and become fragrant.
  • Add the almonds and spread along the bottom. Leave for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to brown and become fragrant.
  • Continue cooking the almonds, stirring every 15 seconds or so, until they are nicely brown and have a deeply toasted flavor, about 5 minutes time in total.
  • Transfer to a piece of parchment paper until they’ve cooled to room temperature.
  • Store in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Prep time is approximate. 
  • Roasted almonds will keep up to a year in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
