These tasty almonds have a great crunch factor as well as a super flavourful spicy punch.
ROSEMARY ROASTED ALMONDS
OK, people! I can not tell you enough how good these almonds are.
I brought a small batch into work yesterday and they were gobbled up quite enthusiastically by the crew. This recipe was inspired by leftover rosemary from the flax bread I made earlier in the week and I also thought I was due for a savoury roasted almond recipe.
I’ve already done a couple of sweet varieties, like the very popular maple cinnamon almond recipe, so here is a spicier option that delivers that crunch factor.
HOW TO MAKE ROSEMARY ROASTED ALMONDS – STEP BY STEP
All you need are a few ingredients you probably already you have on hand!
Olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, cayenne powder and of course almonds.
The prep work is easy for these tasty tidbits. In fact it’s as simple as one:
Two:
Three:
Give them a good stir so everything is coated all nicey-nice, then pop them in the oven and booooom …
There’s something about the spice that makes me feel satisfied me with fewer almonds. That’s saying a lot considering I can consume a crap-ton of almonds. 🙂
These are a little on the spicier side so if that worries you at all just leave out the cayenne. However, if you’re on the fence as far as spice is concerned, give them a try. The heat just kicks in at the end and is fairly subtle, but it’s definitely there.
The addition of the fresh rosemary is sooooo nice. I’ve mentioned in the past how much I love the fragrance of rosemary wafting through my kitchen.
There is something to be said about the power of aromatherapy.
When these almonds are roasting, I found myself taking long, deep breaths in and out inhaling the distinctive scent. I find it soothing.
Then, instead of inhaling the aroma, I inhale these almonds!

August 16, 2013 at 2:28 pmI have definite Trader Joe envy! Is it strange that when I plan travel to U.S cities one of the first things I look up are the grocery stores? Ha!
