Roasting almonds is one of the easiest things in the world to do. You might buy your almonds already roasted, but roasting them at home is more fun. I’ve been roasting my own for a few years and finally decided I needed to write down a recipe since they never turned out the same. Note that these measurements are approximate; feel free to skip the measuring or branch out with your seasonings.
- 4 c. raw almonds
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgen olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. black pepper, finely ground
- 1 tsp. salt, finely ground (I found that regular salt didn’t stick to the almonds, so I tried popcorn salt. If you have an electric grinder, grinding your preferred salt should work too.)
Stir almonds and olive oil until the almonds are uniformly coated. Add the seasonings and stir until spread evenly.
Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 300° F. (150° C) for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool before serving.
