Not too oily, not too salty, just enough spice, easy to do, goes great with all beverages, what's not to love. I tried another recipe that was too salty and directions weren't clear, not as healthy, used butter instead of olive oil and it burned while cooking. I have made this one twice now. Once for a bridal shower and once for Christmas to offset all the sweet stuff we nibble on. Love it.

Delicious and nicely spicy. 4 stars only to leave room for "awesome" snacks, but this is an excellent, tasty, and portable protein snack. Obviously, if you want spicier, just add more of the hot sauce. I tried it with Emeril's cayenne-based Red Pepper sauce. Alas, the almonds I used lacked a satisfying crunch, but after cooking in the skillet I roasted them in the broiler on Lo until they started to crackle, turned them and roasted two minutes more, and then let them cool. This really brought out the aroma, and it made my almonds crunchier. Start with the best almonds to get the best result, though. Which brand is freshest?

I love this recipe. It's really addicting. The only thing I changed was the hot sauce. Instead of using hot sauce I put about 1/2 tsp. of paprika. I think it gives the almonds a more rounded taste.

Roasting does not significantly affect most of the nutrients in the almonds. The roasted almonds have lower levels of a couple of B vitamins (thiamin and pantothenic acid but other than that the nutritional content is not significantly different.

Roasting does not harm the beneficial fats in almonds, or decrease the cardiovascular benefits of eating them. The fats will not become hydrogenated during the roasting process.

These were great, but I added a little more spice to taste. Plan on using them as a snack, but would be great on a salad too.

These really had potential based on the combination of flavors. I was expecting something very tasty based on the smell of the spices as I added them to the oil in the pan. The almonds are just OK. Will use them on salads so that I don't waste them.

The Almond Board offers documentation concerning the nutrition of raw versus roasted almonds. They conclude that the differences are trivial. www.almondsarein.com/AlmondLovers/content.cfm?ItemNumber=1556&mnItemNumber=3878&snItemNumber=3896&tnItemNumber=3898&qnItemNumber=3941
