Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, sugar, chopped rosemary, and water. Mix until a uniform paste forms.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss thoroughly until all the almonds are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the almonds aren't overlapping to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the almonds, stir them with a spatula, and spread them out again into a single layer.
Step 6
Return the almonds to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and aromatic. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as nuts can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
Step 7
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snacking treat or the perfect accompaniment to cocktails!
