Rosemary Roasted Almonds Recipe

These olive oil and rosemary roasted almonds are an irresistible snack that you can actually feel good about eating!
Sometimes I do crazy things.
Crazy things like making these olive oil and rosemary roasted almonds the same week I have oral surgery.
So here I am toothless (okay, just missing one tooth in the back of my mouth). The house smells of the amazing aroma of these addicting rosemary roasted almonds. Salty, crunchy, and full of fantastic flavor from good olive oil and dried rosemary. I try one (or a few), for quality assurance purposes of course, and find out three things:
- They’re dang good.
- My mouth is not ready for crunchy almonds.
- I am sad.
These rosemary roasted almonds, paired with a beverage of your choice (I’ll take a beer!), result in snacking perfection. Luckily, I have a husband who will be able to enjoy that. And probably my neighbors too. I’ll just have to wait until next time.
You will love these rosemary roasted almonds!

Hi. I soaked my almonds. Should I dry them first and then roast or can I just immediately roast them after I am done with soaking and rinsing. ? And I only have a convection oven. So, how long do you think I need to roast the soaked almonds with just olive oil ?
Rachel Gurk says
I’ve never soaked almonds so I’m not sure – I would definitely dry them.
Charlotte @ Drop Dead Bread says
I actually have no idea what I’d have missed before, probably something silly like toast. But now. Well now, I’ll probably miss these!

I have a bag of almonds in the fridge just waiting for this recipe. Fresh rosemary is alive and well in pots on the deck, so think I’ll use that instead of dried. Delicious post! :-)

when I had oral surgery, I was craving nachos after making my family a meal. I had a few and ate them on the other side of my mouth. Stupid choice, but tasted so good.
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says

I love roasting nuts at home! Such a great, easy snack. Hopefully you feel better soon – dental work is the worst! :(

When I was wearing braces, I had to give up corn on the cob and sandwiches whenever we were out because it wasn’t a pretty site afterwards. Hope your mouth feels better soon.I am a sucker for crunchy snacks so it would be hard for me to give those up too.
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
I have seriously been crying for you over your lack of popcorn. As a fellow addict, I understand!
And I am truly sad about your lack of almond eating. Don’t worry I’ll eat some for you ;) Pinned!
Meg @ The Housewife in Training Files says
I would probably benefit because my weakness is ice cream ;) I just told my husband I want to get popcorn kernels to pop because you had me craving it!
