I love snacking on almonds, but after a few, it can get a little boring. I love the idea of infusing flavor into almonds by roasting them. Since I loved the flavor of rosemary in this rosemary parmesan popcorn recipe, I decided to try it with almonds, next! It worked beautifully.

I don’t love plain almonds, but once they were roasted with a little salt and rosemary, I couldn’t stop snacking on them! They’re simple but delicious.

How to Roast Almonds

In order to roast the almonds, you’ll need to toss them in a bit of oil. I used olive oil for a little savory flavor, but you can use vegetable oil or avocado oil if you prefer. After tossing them with the oil and salt, spread them onto a baking sheet in an even layer.

Sprinkle the almonds with the chopped rosemary and bake for about 10 minutes until the almonds are a deep brown color. You can see the difference in color, in the photo below.

Tips & Tricks

  • Experiment with different seasonings to create unique flavors. Some popular options include rosemary, paprika, or a touch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • If you’re roasting sliced almonds, they brown faster than whole almonds, so keep a close eye on them. You’ll need to significantly reduce the roasting time.
  • Make sure the almonds are not crowded on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to uneven roasting.
  • Roasting times may vary based on your oven, so it’s a good idea to start checking for doneness a couple of minutes before the minimum suggested time.

Variations & Other Seasonings

  • If you want to switch up the seasonings, try adding a pinch of paprika, a dash of garlic powder, or a sprinkle of onion powder.
  • You can also use other nuts like cashews, walnuts, or macadamia nuts.
  • If you want a sweet and savory option, try these roasted mixed nuts!

These made the kitchen smell so amazing, it was worth heating up the oven on a hot afternoon. I packed some up in a mason jar and put them in my purse for snacking all weekend. Goodbye, boring almonds.
