Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and finely chopped rosemary. Mix until a smooth paste forms.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the spiced almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap too much for even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or as part of a tapas spread!
