Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Place the raw almonds in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss until the almonds are evenly coated.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.

Step 4

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the almonds and toss thoroughly to ensure every almond is coated with the spices.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned almonds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent uneven browning. Keep a close eye during the last couple of minutes to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept fresh for up to two weeks at room temperature.
