healthier snacking

I have this habit of trying to clean up my act (at least somewhat) in advance of my annual blood work. So I have, for the time being at least, sworn off bags of fun size Snickers in favor of roasted almonds. I used to make them all the time up in Gilroy and I thought I needed to get back to that. Healthy. Good for cholesterol.

It’s really easy.

Ingredients

• Raw almonds from the bulk section of the grocery store
• Olive oil
• Your favorite seasoning (preferably salt-free)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Put enough olive oil in a bowl to cover the almonds.
3. Add your favorite salt-free seasoning.
4. Toss the almonds in the mixture
5. Spread out in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
6. Bake for ten minutes.
7. Let the almonds cool off and then store in an air-tight container.

Voila! A tasty, healthy snack!
