Step by Step Instructions
Roast the almonds
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Spread out almond onto a parchment lined baking tray. Roast the almonds for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Save the pan and the parchment and lower the oven to 200 degrees.
Bloom spices
Add the olive oil, rosemary and garlic to a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Stirring constantly blend the mixture until warm. (Make sure this doesn’t burn or brown.)
Seasoned almonds
Then add the almonds and salt to the pan and mix thoroughly. Mix in sugar free maple syrup until well coated.
Roasted seasoned almonds
Pour the roasted almonds back onto the parchment paper and pan. May sprinkle a tiny bit of seasonings on top before re-roasting. Put back into the oven (200 degrees) and roast for another 15 minutes. Let the almonds cool to room temperature and either serve or put in an airtight container. They will keep fresh for a couple of weeks. Makes 2 cups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other nuts instead of almonds for this recipe?
Absolutely! While almonds are the star of this recipe, you can substitute them with walnuts, cashews, or pecans for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on the type of nut used.
What if I don't have fresh rosemary on hand?
No worries! You can use dried rosemary instead. Just make sure to use about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons, as dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor than fresh.
How should I store the roasted almonds after making them?
Store your roasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about a week. For longer storage, you can keep them in the fridge for up to a month.
Can I adjust the seasoning to make the almonds spicier?
Definitely! Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mixture before roasting for an extra kick. Just adjust to your heat preference.
