Skip buying the sugar-laden, honey-roasted nuts and opt for raw almonds for a healthier snack that you can take to the office. You can eat them raw, but toasting the almonds intensifies the nuttiness and gives them a better crunch.

Set the toaster oven to the bake setting at 400°F.

In a pan lined with aluminum foil, toss the almonds with the olive oil ensuring that every nut gets evenly coated.
Step 3
Sprinkle salt and cayenne on the almonds and toss again. Spread the almonds out in single layer and bake for 12-14 minutes until the almonds turn a dark brown, but not black.
Step 4
Let cool for five to 10 minutes before serving. Let the almonds cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
