Rosemary And Chili Roasted Almonds

A moderate oven and twenty patient minutes give an even roast right through the nut; a hot oven browns the outside and leaves the middle raw.

The maple syrup is there to make the spices stick, not to sweeten them.

Almonds carry on cooking on a hot tray, so pull them a shade paler than you want them.

They are soft coming out of the oven and only crisp once completely cold.
