I really love the coating on these almonds. The combination of fresh rosemary, chili powder, cumin and coriander make them really savoury. The touch of cayenne in the recipe gives them just the right amount of heat. The maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and makes these almonds irresistible.

How to Roast Seasoned Almonds

These almonds take less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Here's a summary of the ingredients and steps you'll need to take to make this recipe.

Ingredients Overview:

• Almonds. You'll need to start with raw almonds for this recipe.
• Maple syrup
• Olive oil
• Fresh rosemary
• Chili powder
• Ground cumin
• Ground coriander
• Salt

Steps Overview:

1. To roast the almonds, you'll need to start by preheating your oven.
2. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to cover the almonds with the spices, maple syrup and olive oil.
3. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake. Remember to stir the almonds half-way through the 20 minute cooking time.

How to Serve

Savoury nut recipes are always a go to when I need a quick nibble for a dinner party. These spiced almonds can be served on their own as a snack or with cocktails.

They can also be added to a sweet and savoury grazing platter. Serve roasted almonds along with olives, cheese, cured meats, crackers and fruit.

You can also use them to top a salad and they make wonderful host or hostess gifts. I like gifting them in mason jars with a pretty ribbon.

How to Store

Roasted almonds can be stored in an airtight container up to three weeks at room temperature.
