Porquerolles Island Toasted Almonds

From Patricia Wells. It's a snack for grown ups, and works really well if you are serving
wine or sherry before a meal. I've found that a little less olive oil is necessary, if you are
serving this warm (which I suggest!).

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves only (can't use dried for this)
2 teaspoons coarse salt (I use kosher salt, but coarse sea salt is what the recipe calls for)
4 ounces (125 g) unblanched whole almonds

Preheat the oven to 400f.
In a bowl big enough to hold all the ingredients, combine the oil, thyme and salt, and set
aside.
Place the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the center
of the oven and toast until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and
immediately add nuts to the olive oil mixture, tossing to coat.
