• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely mince garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary leaves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, herbes de Provence, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to blend the aromatics and spices.

Step 4

Add the raw almonds to the bowl and use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly coat them in the seasoned olive oil mixture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Transfer the cooled almonds to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy your Provencal Rosemary Almonds as a snack or appetizer.
