Pre-heat a frying pan with medium heat and add the 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil to the pan
Once the oil gets hot add the blanched almonds to the pan
Star mixing the almonds with the oil without stopping mixing for about 3-4 minutes
Once the almonds have a light brown color to them (do not over cook) turn your fire off and transfer the almonds to a plate with a paper towel to drain the oil in the almonds
Add a generous pinch of salt to the almonds, mix together and remove the paper towel
Let them cool off for at least 15 minutes before serving
