Serves 4 | VEGETARIAN

1 tbsp olive oil

225g (8oz) roasted salted whole almonds

4 tbsp caster sugar

1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

These crunchy spiced nuts make an excellent snack to go with a few drinks. I like to use almonds but cashew nuts or pecan halves also work well.

Heat the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat and add the almonds, stirring to coat. Sprinkle over the sugar, paprika and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the almonds are golden brown and the sugar has caramelised.

Spread out on a baking sheet to cool and harden, then break up any clusters as necessary before piling into small bowls to serve.
