Here's a summary of the ingredients and steps you'll need to take to make this roasted almonds recipe. Please see the printable recipe card at the end of this post for the ingredient amounts and full instructions.

Serving Suggestions

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

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

They're also a great salad topper, I love to use them to add crunchy texture to a salad.

Finally, they also make wonderful host or hostess gifts. I like gifting them in mason jars with a pretty ribbon.

Storage Instructions

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