Ingredients for Almendras Saladas Salted Almonds Tapas

  • Blanched Almonds
  • Sea Salt
  • Sweet Paprika
  • Enough olive oil to fill a saucepan to a depth of 1 inch

How to Make Almendras Saladas Salted Almonds Tapas

  1. Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a saucepan to 380°F (193°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  2. Add 1 cup of almonds to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown.
  3. Remove almonds from oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. While still warm, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika over the almonds.
  5. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving in a small bowl as a delicious tapas offering.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
