Spiced Marcona Almonds are a nice nibble with a glass of wine. The spices are classically Spanish, as are the almonds, easy to make and easy to keep.
Tip : The almonds may stick to the parchment paper so halfway through the baking time, use a plastic spatula to scrape the almonds from the paper, and toss to get both sides of the almonds toasted.
