Rosemary roasted almonds are the perfect snack with a glass of wine or cocktail, or added to a tapas platter. They’re easy to make, and they make excellent hostess gifts, too.
During the summer, we sit outside a bit later, enjoying the warm breeze to relish in the long, lazy days. If friends drop by, I like to have a couple of standby items I can put out and serve with some wine.
These rosemary roasted almonds are the same recipe and method I’ve used in the past for my Rosemary Walnuts.
If you like, you can spice these up by adding a bit more cayenne. I always use kosher salt, as it’s less salty than regular salt. Seriously, read this post to learn more about the different types of salt and how to use them correctly.
Add these rosemary roasted almonds to a tapas platter for a light dinner, or nibble them with drinks. They’re also perfect wrapped up in some cellophane for a quick hostess gift!
