Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the raw almonds to the skillet and stir frequently to ensure even cooking. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the almonds are golden brown and fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and add the rosemary and thyme to the skillet. Stir the almonds for 1-2 minutes to infuse them with the fresh herb flavors.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the almonds. Toss well to coat evenly.
Remove the almonds from the skillet and transfer them to a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or appetizer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
