Introduction
Rosemary Roasted Almonds
By: Christina Soong
I love roasting my own natural almonds – nothing beats that crunchy, fresh-from-the-oven taste and smell.
Plain roasted almonds are a quick and healthy snack but with a little extra effort, you can make restauarant-quality roasted nuts at home every day.
It’s worth sourcing fresh rosemary for this recipe – dried rosemary just doesn’t quite cut it.
These nuts are wonderful fresh from the oven but they also make a great snack to take to the office — you’ll win plenty of fans — or to keep in your bag to snack on when you’re out and about.
Enjoy!
