Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, making sure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure all sides are toasted evenly.
Once the almonds are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Transfer the cooled rosemary almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to two weeks at room temperature.
