Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toast the almonds on the prepared baking sheet for 10 minutes, until very lightly browned and fragrant.
In a mixing bowl combine chopped rosemary, salt, chili flakes, raisins and olive oil.
Pour the hot nuts over the mixture and toss to coat.
Sprinkle the sugar at the last minute to avoid clumping.
The nuts will keep in a sealed container in the pantry for up to 1 month. Recipe from Devin Connell’s book Conveniently Delicious.Note: blanched almonds can be found in the baking section of the supermarket.
