Spicy Almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups dry-roasted unsalted almonds
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, then add the almonds and stir to combine. Add the Worcestershire, sugar, chili powder, and salt and stir until the almonds are evenly coated.
