Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
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 raw almonds with olive oil. Stir well to coat the almonds evenly.
Step 3
Add garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so all the almonds are well coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent over-browning.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The almonds will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, sprinkle with optional parsley for a pop of color and serve as a salad topper or enjoy as a snack.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
