Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
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 large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, extra virgin olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all almonds are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 3
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 10-15 minutes. Stir the almonds halfway through the roasting time to ensure they brown evenly. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Step 5
Remove the almonds from the oven once they are golden brown and aromatic. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 6
Once cooled, transfer the roasted almonds into an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Step 7
Enjoy these heart-healthy roasted almonds as a delicious snack throughout the day!
