Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the water and sea salt. Stir until the salt has mostly dissolved.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the salted water until all almonds are evenly coated.
Optionally, drizzle in the olive oil and mix to coat the almonds for added crispiness and flavor.
Spread the almonds in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Keep an eye on the almonds during the last few minutes to prevent burning. They should turn golden brown and smell aromatic when done.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Transfer the cooled salty almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for salads and other dishes.
