| Marcona Almonds With Smoked Paprika |
Need a quick nibble for family or friends? I was in such a position a couple of days ago. Instead of just putting out plain nuts, popcorn, pretzels, etc 0I like to add an extra zing to my snacks. Today's recipe has the extra zing of smoked paprika. It is amazing what a wonderful flavor some smoked paprika can add. In a mixing bowl I tossed some Marcona almonds (I found mine at Costco) with olive oil and smoked paprika. Baked them in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes. Removed them from the oven and transferred to a bowl where I sprinkled them with salt and tossed. That was it. I had a quick snack to munch on during the Basketball game which New Mexico won!
