Instructions: Walnuts, pecans and cashews can be treated in the same way with excellent results.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar over them. Saute until almonds become golden and the sugar caramelizes.

Remove almonds from the pan and toss in a bowl with salt, cumin, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container or tin.
