MOROCCAN SPICED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, spices, salt, and pepper.

• NOTE: Spanish Marcona almonds have recently become more popular and more available. They're a little flatter than ordinary almonds, with a richer flavor. Always skinned, most Marcona almonds have already been sauteed in oil and lightly salted when you get them. For this recipe, select unsalted and oil-free nuts if you can, though either will work well. You can find them in specialty stores.
