Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a seasoning mixture.

Step 3

Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the almonds and toss again to coat. Reserve the remaining Parmesan for later use.

Step 5

Spread the almonds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring the almonds halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Remove the almonds from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over them while they are still hot. Gently toss to help the cheese adhere.

Step 8

Let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. The Parmesan will crisp up as the almonds cool.

Step 9

Transfer the Parmesan almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to one week.
