Crush-Worthy

We've fallen hard for these versatile nut and spice mashups

BY Laraine Perri

If you've ever found yourself unable to stop snacking on a bowl of smoked almonds or picking through a salad to find all the bits of a crunchy topping, then you know how addictive a toasty-spicy-nutty combination can be. Crushing roasted nuts and spices takes the combined ingredients to the next level by releasing their essential oils and, with them, intense flavors. The crush blends that follow can be used to produce tasty toppers for steamed or roasted vegetables, luscious crumbles for yogurt and fruit, spice crusts for tofu or cheese, and delicious dunks for bread.
