Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and finely chopped rosemary. Mix until a smooth paste forms.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the spiced almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap too much for even roasting.
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or as part of a tapas spread!
