# What You Need:

→ Nuts

01 - 1 1/2 cups raw whole almonds

→ Spices & Seasonings (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss the almonds with olive oil (if using), salt, and desired spices until well coated.
03 - Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.

# Handy Tips:

01 -
  • The transformation from raw to roasted is like magic with so little effort
  • These disappear faster than I can make them whenever I set them out
02 -
  • The line between perfectly roasted and burnt is incredibly thin so stay close to the oven
  • Stirring halfway through prevents the ones on the edges from getting too dark
03 -
  • Buy raw almonds in bulk and roast them yourself for huge savings
  • Experiment with spice blends you already love in your pantry
