Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, sugar, chopped rosemary, and water. Mix until a uniform paste forms.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss thoroughly until all the almonds are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the almonds aren't overlapping to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the almonds, stir them with a spatula, and spread them out again into a single layer.
Return the almonds to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and aromatic. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as nuts can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snacking treat or the perfect accompaniment to cocktails!
