Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a smooth spice mixture.

Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the lined baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the almonds on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to avoid burning.
