In less time than it takes to preheat a regular oven, you can toast and season these munchies. Like oven-roasted nuts, microwaved ones crisp up as they cool.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 2 teaspoons salted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Directions:

1. Spread almonds in a glass pie dish and dot with butter.
2. Microwave until fragrant and pale golden in center, stirring every minute, 3 minutes total.
3. Stir in salt and curry powder.
4. Microwave until nuts are golden in center, stirring once, 2 minutes more.
5. Let cool until crunchy.

Serves:  1 cup (serving size: 2 tbsp.)
