LAVENDER MARCONA ALMONDS

Steps:

• Finely grind lavender in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle (you should have about 2 tsp.).
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring once, until golden, 15 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sugar, lavender, and salt and toss again to coat.

THYME-ROASTED MARCONA ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the almonds, olive oil, thyme, and kosher salt on a sheet pan and toss them together. Roast the almonds for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes with a metal spatula, until they're lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they go from under baked to burnt very quickly. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel, toss, and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
