Very good way to eat your healthy almonds! I used mild paprika and cayenne pepper. I had to stop myself from eating all of them. It adds a new taste to the almonds. Made for Zaar's Newest Star Tag Game 2012.

Much healthier than store bought and almost as tasty. Should have cooked them for the full time, but took them out a bit early and so they lacked some crunch.

Made this for the DS to take to his music recreation group but had a taste and decided they could have cake instead, so it is all mine. I used a hot paprika but next time may add just another 1/2 teaspoon but will wait 24 hours to see if the flavour develops more before making that final decision. I baked for 30 minutes at 150C fan forced oven. Thank Dreamer, made for I Recommend Tag Game and recommended by Lalaloula.

A very easy to prepare and yummy tasting recipe! The nuts definitely roast nicely and are packed with flavour. I used a mix of mild paprika powder and cayenne pepper, cause I am planning to give these nuts as gifts to my parents who love spicy nuts. Instead of almonds I used cashew nuts as thats what I had on hand. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Dreamer! Made and reviewed for one of my babies during PAC March 2010.

These got a mixed reception, some guests loved them to bits and others didn't care for them at all. I used plenty of olive oil and hot paprika and those who loved them adored them, those who didn't .. well didn't. There seemed to be no middle ground. Please see my Rating System: 3 excellent stars for a recipe that divided opinion 5 ways for 5 adults tasting .. have a go yourself and see how you prefer these. A great recipe to have tried, Thanks!
