Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a seasoning mixture.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the almonds and toss again to coat. Reserve the remaining Parmesan for later use.
Spread the almonds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring the almonds halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even roasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over them while they are still hot. Gently toss to help the cheese adhere.
Let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. The Parmesan will crisp up as the almonds cool.
Transfer the Parmesan almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to one week.
