Fried Almonds

This simple recipe for salted fried almonds transforms humble cupboard staples into a sophisticated, savoury snack.

A generous dusting of flaky sea salt provides the perfect finish, making these a moreish addition to a classic grazing board or a refined accompaniment to evening drinks.

As a heart-healthy option, these nuts are packed with beneficial fats and protein, offering a nutritious way to satisfy savoury cravings. This versatile dish is ideal for preparing in advance when hosting guests, as the toasted flavour develops beautifully once cooled.
