Roasted Almonds

The almond, how I love it so. Plain, sweet, or salty, there is no way to go wrong with this nut in my opinion. Unless you're allergic... then steer clear. 


 Raw almonds are good, but roasted are great. I eat roasted almonds like popcorn and before I know it half the baking dish is gone. No shame involved. I did not add any salt or other flavorings to this batch, just a little bit of olive oil. The roasting enhances their nutty flavor and creates the most satisfying crunch that I just cannot get enough of.

 Simple, healthy, addicting.

Roasted Almonds

1 lb whole raw almonds

1 tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. On a unlined and ungreased sheet tray, toss almonds and oil with hands or a spoon until they are well coated. Spread evenly across the tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn darkish brown, tossing halfway through. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
