We enjoy almonds year around as a healthy snack, but I love being able to offer something a bit more special when entertaining.
If you love rosemary, you’ll love the intoxicating aroma in your kitchen when making a batch of roasted almonds. Everyone in the house will stop what they’re doing, seeking for a nibble or two.
Looking for a recipe with a sweet kick, try my Bourbon Candied Pecans. They make a beautiful hostess gift as well.
Roasted Rosemary Almonds Recipe
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rosemary finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine olive oil, rosemary, paprika, onion powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Add almonds and toss with the olive oil mixture until coated.
- Evenly spread almonds on lined baking sheet and place on the middle rack in the oven.
- Bake for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
- Allow to cool and dry out a little for about 1 – 2 hours before storing in an air tight container.
Recipe Notes
For spicy almonds add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the olive oil mixture.
I’m a bit conservative with salt in this recipe, and that’s why I suggest sprinkling additional salt after removing them from the oven.
Adapt this recipe for cashews, peanuts or your favorite mixed nuts combination.

Homemade gifts are even more special when delivered in a smart reusable container. Tie a simple ribbon around the jar and add a sprig of rosemary for a fun and festive presentation.
The hermetic jars are my favorites for storage and organizing the pantry. I’ve been using them for years and they never disappoint in keeping food fresh.
